DIPLOMACY AND LEADERSHIP FOR A MORE CONNECTED WORLD | Consulate General of the Republic of Serbia in New York

Together with Dame Gloria Starr Kins, I hosted a Diplomacy & Leadership Evening in New York, bringing together guests from more than 40 countries. My goal is to connect diplomats, the business community, and leaders across different fields, creating new partnerships through trust and direct dialogue.

Gloria opened both her home and her heart. Her 99 years of life, perseverance, and extraordinary energy are an inspiration and a symbol of New York’s spirit.

Our guest of honor, spiritual and humanitarian leader Brahmarishi Dr. Mohanji, encouraged us to see the world as an interconnected whole, understand ourselves, and use our time and influence to benefit others. In the age of artificial intelligence, his message reminds us of the value of compassion, responsibility, and genuine human connection.

Proud to represent Serbia in New York, I expressed my gratitude for the American hospitality that also offered opportunities to remarkable figures such as Nikola Tesla and Swami Vivekananda. God bless America!
