Researchers from the „Vinča” Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Dr. Ivana Perović and Dr. Predrag Božović, participated in the Regional Workshop on Nuclear Security Detection Architecture Assessment, held from December 9 to 13 this year at RACVIAC – Centre for Security Cooperation, in Zagreb, Croatia. The event brought together experts, representatives of national agencies, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to enhance understanding and cooperation in the field of nuclear security.

RACVIAC – Centre for Security Cooperation is a regional organization dedicated to fostering dialogue and collaboration on security issues in Southeast Europe. The Center brings together representatives of member and associate member countries from Southeast Europe, as well as international organizations, including Serbia, with the aim of strengthening regional security cooperation. The workshop offered participants from the region and beyond the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences through lectures, panel discussions, and practical exercises.

The Serbian delegation, consisting of Dr. Perović and Dr. Božović, actively contributed to discussions on detection systems in nuclear security, strategies for preventing the smuggling of nuclear materials, and evaluating detection architecture. Their participation further reinforced Serbia's position as a key partner in international efforts to enhance nuclear security.

In closing remarks from IAEA and RACVIAC representatives, the importance of continued cooperation and knowledge exchange in this field was emphasized. The participation of our researchers in this significant event once again highlights the “Vinča” Institute's commitment to global efforts to ensure safety and security in the nuclear domain.
