Serbia’s Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic emphasised the significance of the newly unveiled 2024-2030 AI Development Strategy as a pivotal document for the nation. Highlighting its broad impact across sectors such as education, energy, and healthcare, Brnabic underscored AI’s critical role in Serbia’s societal advancement.

Brnabic noted Serbia’s pioneering move in 2019 by adopting its first AI strategy, positioning the country at the forefront of AI development in Southeastern Europe.

She highlighted Serbia’s membership in the Global Partnership for AI, currently chaired by the nation, and announced plans to host a global AI conference in December.

Under the previous strategy, Serbia established the Institute for AI in Novi Sad in 2021 and introduced its first national AI platform. The supercomputer, available free of charge to universities, scientific institutes, and local startups, aims to foster innovation and technological growth in Serbia’s science and technology parks.
