aims at promoting the study of the Serbian literary and
cultural heritage, as well as the teaching of the Serbian
language abroad. The MSC therefore cooperates with and
offers assistance to institutions around the world

language, literature and culture - is intended for foreign

is held every year from the 1st to 21st of September in

country whose language they are studying.
