He is a member of the Association of Writers of Serbia.
The fourth Kaleidoscope of Culture will last from 2 September to 8 October 2021. Through different processes, the yearlong project of the culture of togetherness will, this time too, during the five weeks and five forms of art connect artists, cultural institutions and non-governmental organisations, citizens and tourists, and introduce spaces and programmes across the city, promoting a unique image of diversity of Novi Sad.
