[Vuk Jeremić @jeremic_vuk]

It was an extraordinary privilege to teach for the second consecutive year at the renowned Sciences Po Paris School of International Affairs @PSIASciencesPo, one of the best schools in the world.

My graduate course “OADI 2325: Introduction to Contemporary Geopolitics - A Practitioner’s View” addressed over 24 lectures some of the most pressing global issues of today.

Students also had a chance to learn how to compose professional policy and decision making memos, as well as how diplomatic negotiations, campaigns and elections in the UN and other international organizations are conducted in reality.

It was a pleasure working with such astonishingly smart and dedicated young people from around the world. They will always be able to count on my support and guidance, if they ever need it!

Novak Djokovic es como ese amor de verano que sabes que pronto va a acabar, pero que nunca quieres que termine.

Ese amor con el que te ves en el banco de la plaza, contando con pena los días para que llegue el final e intentando aprovechar cada segundo a su lado.

Pronto, el tiempo dirá que ya es tiempo de separar caminos y tocará despedirse. Probablemente para siempre. Por eso, cada minuto en esa plaza será un regalo.

Mientras Nole camina hacia la puerta de salida de la pista Central de Wimbledon, tras una batalla épica de más de cinco horas y raquetero al hombro, la vida nos dice que pronto nos tocará decirnos adiós.

Nos prometeremos no llorar.

La vida se nos escapa entre las manos como mercurio, pero la huella de ese amor de verano quedará grabada para siempre a fuego en nuestros corazones, demostrando que cada partido de Nole, a estas alturas, sabe a eternidad y a despedida.

Los dos viviremos este instante con la intensidad del que sabe que no hay tiempo que perder.

🚨 Док други славе диплому, Миљана страхује да ће остати без дома.

После 27 година борбе, мајци и ћерки са инвалидитетом прети раздвајање.

Миљана (27) завршава мастер студије, али нема сигуран дом. Славица (65) је већ 27 година њен једини ослонац.

Не дозволимо да их раздвоје.

The inaugural Horizons Forum on Sustainability and Connectivity brought together global leaders, investors, innovators, academics, and decision-makers in Belgrade for two days of high-level dialogue on the defining issues of the next decade.

The Forum opened with remarks by Vuk Jeremić, President of CIRSD, and Marko Čadež, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, followed by the presentation of the Sustainability & Connectivity Awards to Zhang Chuanwei and Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who both addressed Forum participants.

The second day featured six high-level panels exploring the global energy transition, the changing geopolitical landscape, the future of ESG, connectivity between Europe, China, and Asia, the rapid development of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, and the transformation of the global financial system.

During the Forum, Vuk Jeremić also presented the Sustainability & Connectivity Award to Stella Li, Executive Vice President of BYD, in recognition of her contribution to sustainable mobility, technological innovation, and global connectivity.

Across two days, the Horizons Forum created a platform for meaningful dialogue, the exchange of ideas, and new partnerships connecting people, institutions, businesses, and regions.

Thank you to all our speakers, participants, partners, guests, and everyone who contributed to making the first Horizons Forum a success.

The discussion will feature:

• Jeffrey Sachs, world-renowned economist and expert in sustainable development

• Zhang Chuanwei, Chairman of Ming Yang Smart Energy, one of the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers

• Zhang Weiwei, Professor of International Relations at Fudan University and Director of the China Institute

The world no longer operates within a simple bipolar or unipolar framework. Regional blocs, middle powers, international institutions, technology companies, and other actors today shape global relations through an increasingly complex web of interests, alliances, and influence.

How do states, companies and institutions position themselves in a world where alliances are fluid and power is increasingly distributed?

These topics will be discussed by:

• @TdeMontbrial , Founder and Executive Chairman of @IFRI_ - Institut français des relations internationales and Chairman of the International Conference on Global Politics (WPC)

• @jeremic_vuk , President of CIRSD - Center for International Relations and Sustainable Development, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia and former President of the UN General Assembly

Wonderful to reconnect with my old friend K. Shanmugam @kshanmugam, Singapore’s Minister for Home Affairs and Law and former Foreign Minister, with whom I had the privilege of serving during our years in diplomacy.

Some friendships pick up exactly where they left off, no matter how much time has passed or how much the world has changed.

Welcoming him in Belgrade, at long last!

Ovo je jedan od najtužnijih slučajeva koje smo ikada videli (VIDEO)

Anđela Kostić rođena je prevremeno 2018. godine, kao jedna od dve bliznakinje. Dok je njena sestra na svet došla zdrava i snažna, za malu Anđelu tada je počela borba koju nijedno dete ne bi smelo da vodi.

Još tokom trudnoće lekari su primetili proširene moždane komore, a Anđela je rođena sa svega jednim kilogramom. Nije mogla sama da diše, pa je prve dane provela na respiratoru. Dok je njena sestra rasla bezbrižno, Anđela je od prvog dana vodila teške bitke — već kao beba prošla je operaciju nosnih hodnika, ugradnju šanta zbog hidrocefalusa i operaciju lobanje, sve kao posledica retkog Fajferovog sindroma.

I pored svega što je preživela, Anđela je do svog četvrtog rođendana trčala, pričala, pevala i razvijala se kao njena sestra, osvajajući sve oko sebe svojim zaraznim osmehom.

Međutim, nakon novih operacija njena borba postala je mnogo teža. Tokom 2022. i 2023. godine prošla je kroz oko 30 hirurških zahvata zbog brojnih komplikacija. Prema rečima lekara iz Srbije i inostranstva, Anđela je preživela moždani udar koji većina dece ne preživi. Od tada više ne hoda, ne sedi, ne može da drži glavu, ne hrani se na usta i izgubila je govor. Anđelin vrat je toliko osetljiv da samo mama sme da je drži.

Ovo je jedan od najtužnijih slučajeva sa kojima smo se susreli tokom naših 15 godina humanitarnog rada. Ipak, kada smo posetili Anđelu, videli smo nešto neverovatno — iako vodi najtežu bitku svog života, na svako naše pitanje odgovarala je pozitivno i smejala se. Da bi nastavila svoju borbu, potrebna joj je pomoć za dalje lečenje i rehabilitaciju. Može li Anđela da računa na nas?

AI is sold as weightless code. It is, in fact, one of the most physically ravenous technologies ever built, consuming the electricity of Japan today and on track to double that by 2030. It draws on cobalt from the Congo, chips from Taiwan, and discards its waste in Ghana. Silvana Koch-Mehrin, Founder and President of Women Political Leaders, argues that between America’s tech oligarchy and China’s state control, Europe is the only actor treating AI as the infrastructure it actually is. The future of AI’s environmental footprint, she contends, will not be decided in Silicon Valley or Beijing, but in Brussels.

The process of selecting the next Secretary General of the @UN is about to unfold. Last month, @ColumbiaIGP welcomed @jeremic_vuk to lead a simulation of the UNSG election with our Student Scholars. Jeremić is president of the 67th session of the UN General Assembly and a former candidate for secretary-general.

The simulation recreated the rules and procedures that will soon take place at United Nations Headquarters. Students either role-played candidates or representatives from UNSC member states. Each participant was provided with candidate profiles, as well as a confidential briefing package outlining their assigned member state’s position.

After repeated rounds of voting and discussions between the P5 and the candidates, a secretary-general was ultimately elected: María Fernanda Espinosa, a former president of the UN General Assembly, with 13 votes in favor, two abstentions, and no votes against.

A decade ago, China made generics and copies. Today, Pfizer's CEO Albert Bourla warns that "every drug could be made in China," U.S. firms are signing record-shattering licensing deals with Chinese biotechs, and a single Chinese antibody has beaten Keytruda head-to-head in a Phase 3 trial. Yanzhong Huang, Senior Fellow for Global Health at the Council on Foreign Relations, traces how a state-orchestrated regulatory overhaul, a 1.4-billion-person clinical trial advantage, and the sheer scale of biotech parks like Suzhou's BioBAY rewrote the global pharmaceutical map. The harder question is whether Washington's tariff-and-restrict response is protecting American leadership or accelerating its decline.
