(ANSA) - TRIESTE, OCT. 3 - An initiative organised on Serbian
writer Ivo Andric's 125th birthday took the first steps in
Trieste. That is a biographical exhibition dedicated to the
multifaceted personality that will be set up in Brussels on 18
and 19 October.
The event, which is part of the 'Cross the border' festival, was
presented today at CEI headquarters by organizers: 'Cizeruno'
and 'Giuliani nel mondo' associations.
Andric was born in Dolac (Bosnia) on October 9, 1892, and his
life represented a cultural bridge between Belgrade - the city
where he wrote his masterpieces - Trieste - where he moved and
started his diplomatic career - and Brussels, where he worked as
a renowned diplomat.
The initiative took the first steps in Trieste because the
Cizerouno association had set up there the biographical
exhibition in 2011 - which then became itinerant and finally
arrived in Brussels after being on display in several European
cities - and organized an international study conference in
2012.
Moreover, Serbian writer was celebrated through the publication
of a general bibliography of works and writings, by Matica
Srpska in Novi Sad (Serbia), numerous workshops, exhibitions,
shows. This new exhibition will be open at the Serbian Mission
at the EU on October 18 and the following day will be moved to
the Fvg Region's headquarters in Brussels.
Both events will be attended by Serbian Ambassador Ana
Hrustanovic. ''Nowadays the CEI - said Erik Csernovitz, deputy
secretary of the organization - includes 18 European member
countries, and 250mn citizens. Many of these countries are
somehow linked to Andric because he has lived, worked or written
there, and his activity has paved the way to the CEI that,
following on his footsteps, intends to create valuable ties and
bridges between peoples. He was a true Europeanist'', he
underlined. (ANSA).
