One of the most important segments of our institution’s work is presentation of results of its activities and research through media, publications, lectures and participation in professional meetings and scholarly symposia. As this year draws to a close, we note that our colleague, art historian Dr Branislav Cvetković, museum councilor and senior research associate, this year, in addition to regular symposia held in Niš (Niš and Byzantium) and Despotovac (Middle Ages in Serbian science, history, literature and art) in which he has been participating for the last ten years, also took part in the International Conference dedicated to reliquaries, organized by the Ilia State University in Tbilisi, with participants from Georgia, Canada, the United States, Romania, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Russia and Poland. He presented the results of new research of the Serbian reliquary from the Vatopedi monastery on Mount Athos, which originally belonged to the Serbian monastery of Nova Pavlica near Raška.
