Serbia becomes CERN associate member

Serbian President Boris Tadić says Serbia’s accession to CERN accelerates the research process and provides an opportunity for economic development.

“I am proud that we made a decision to join the project. Serbia’s accession to CERN accelerates the research process and gives a chance to both those who have reached a creative peak and those who are yet to strive for it,” Tadić said in Geneva on Tuesday.

Tadić and European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Director General Rolf-Dieter Heuer signed earlier today an agreement making Serbia an associate member of CERN.
