Interview: Academician Zoran Knežević, president of SANU

In the new issue: Serbia is still a civilized society

"In this society, there are topics and questions that do not have easy and quick answers. The Academy is often called out not only because of that, but also because of some other issues where there are certain frustrations in society, but mostly these are such questions to which there are actually no quick and easy answers, because if there were, they would not ask the Academy"

Interview: Professor Alpar Loshonc, corresponding member of SANU

Only truth remains against power

"Our eternal dilemma is whether an intellectual loses his identity if he offers services to the authorities, that is, whether he then ceases to be an intellectual. This problem was thought to have gone away, but it hasn't. And the sirens that seduce intellectuals are more cunning today than before, the mechanisms are more invisible. And an intellectual, especially one who is no stranger to at least a small dose of cynicism, easily finds an alibi. Today, the chances of becoming a quasi-intellectual are extraordinary."
