One of the issues that we recognized as extremely important and which we wanted to draw the public’s attention to in the form of a round table, is the corona virus pandemic.
Organized by the Foundation for the Serbian People and State on November 5. In 2021, 2021. a round table called “Covid-19 as a challenge to science” was held.

The purpose of the round table was to pay attention to this phenomenon, which is a global problem, from the position of science, that is, to approach it in a multidisciplinary way, both from the sociological, psychological, and from the aspect of the medical profession.

The participants were presented with significant research regarding this topic and were shown the importance of applying preventive measures in the control of coronavirus. A special review was made on the topic of the importance of the health system which represents the backbone of every society, and which our state, led by the Government of the Republic of Serbia, has done a lot to empower since the beginning of the pandemic.

The conclusion and common ground of all speakers is that better education of the population on this topic is needed, especially for the younger population, and a message was sent to young people that it is necessary to get vaccinated in order to achieve the common goal, which is to stop the Covid-19 pandemic.
