Dear colleagues and friends!

Welcome to the 4th Serbian Glaucoma Society Congress with international participation!
Following the tradition, we will again meet and learn together on the Kopaonik mountain.

Each year, we have more and more participants…. On the 3rd Serbian Society Glaucoma Congress, there were almost twice more domestic and foreign participants (428), than that we had on  the 1th Serbian Glaucoma Society Congress. That makes us very happy and proud, but also make us responsible because of the fact that the glaucoma in Serbia, as subspeciality branch found its fertile ground, and in the future will further develop …

On this Congress, we will especially insist on education throught a number of thematic  organized courses, with eminent lecturers from the country and abroad. We have also provided special courses for young ophthalmologists (for our satisfaction there are more and more of them in Serbia), on which they will, with the mentoring of their older colleagues, transfer basic knowledge in the field of glaucoma. Of course, invited lectures, symposiums and free themes from glaucoma are an indispensable part of the program of this Congress.

In spite of global problems in the pharmaceutical industry, our friends and sponsors of the Congress recognized its importance and place to promote their activities.

On behalf of the Steering Committee of the SGS, and the Organizing Committee and our friends and sponsors of the Congress, I invite you to take an active part in the work of the Congress. The Serbian Glaucoma Society Congress with international participation has become the recognizable event among ophthalmologists, the opportunity to renew knowledge, learn something new and have a good friendship in the beautiful environment of Kopaonik.

Traditionally there is always the Congress moto. This Congress will be held under the moto: Dum docent discunt. (They learn while teach others, Seneca).

President of Serbian glaucoma Society

Prof. Dr Nikola Babić M.D., Ph.D.

About Kopaonik

Kopaonik (known in Roman, Venetian and Turkish springs and as Silver Mountain) is the largest mountain massif in Serbia, which extends from north-west to southeast about 75 km in length, reaching in the middle part about 40 km wide. One part of Kopaonik is a protected zone called the National Park Kopaonik, within which there are a number of protected natural entities, and it is also the largest ski center in Serbia. The natural advantage of Kopaonik is 160 days under the snow cover, which provides excellent conditions for winter sports and makes Kopaonik one of the most interesting winter tourist centers of the Balkans. The highest peak of Kopanika is the Pančić peak with 2017 meters above sea level, on which is the Mausoleum of the famous Serbian naturalist Josif Pančić, after which he was named.

The entire massif of Kopaonik was named after the great mineral wealth that has been exploited there since the Middle Ages, and in its wider area is a whole series of cultural and historical monuments from the 12th to the 15th century. Kopaonik was a developed mining area in the Middle Ages, and from that period, there were many undercuts, names and mining tools. Mining has been renewed in recent times, especially in Trepca, which has large deposits of lead-zinc ore on the southern slopes of this mountain. Belo Brdo mine is located at the very foot of Pančićev vrh. Thanks to the developed tourist center with modern hotel facilities and accompanying facilities, Kopaonik is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Serbia and South-East Europe.

The highest part of Kopaonik is the spacious area of ​​Ravni Kopaonik, which is surrounded by Suvo Rudiste with Pancic (Milan’s) summit (2017 m), with Pancic Mausoleum, Karaman (1934 m), Gobelja (1834m) and dr. Southeast of Suva Rustišta, the ridge of Kopaonik is narrowed and broken down into a number of plastic elevations: Čardak (1590 m), Tatorica (1750 m) and Oštro koplje (1789 m), among which are wide transitions. Kopaonik is the most widespread part of the forest-pasture zone of central Serbia. On the higher parts is the coniferous forest of spruce and fir, and on the mountainous sides, the forests of beech and oak. Kopaonik is a place where species of endemic flora can be found, such as Sempervirum Kopaonicense Pancic, Cardamine Pancicii and Copper Violet (Viola Copanicensis). Of the many animal species, the most important are the gray falcon (Falco Peregrinus), the raw eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), the bulb (Bubo Bubo), the wild cat (Felix Silvestris) and the deer (Capreolus Capreolus).

Animal husbandry is the main occupation of the population of Kopaonik, and more recently tourism. On Ravni Kopaonik is a large tourist mountain ski center, with numerous accommodation facilities, a ski slopes and ski lifts and other infrastructure. Another such complex is developing at Brzeć village on the eastern slope, where about 1000 beds are available in hotels, apartments and houses. They reach Kopaonik through Josanica Spa, Brzece and Rudnica. On the west side of Kopaonik, from the Ibar highway, take two times for Ravni Kopaonik, one of Biljanovac along the Josanicka River, and the other from Rudnica; and on the east side of Krusevac and Toplice, through Brzeć, descending steeply into Jankovo ​​gorge, which separates it from the mountain Jastrebac. Roads to Kopaonik: Raska-Biljanovac-Josanicka Banja-Kopaonik (37km) and Raska-Rudnica-Kopaonik, (19km) from Ibarska Mageistrale, Brus-Brzece-Jaram-Kopaonik, (30km), Kuršumlija-Mercez-Blaževo-Brzece- Kopaonik (64km), Gracak-Jošanicka Banja (27km) and Mercez-Lukovska Banja-Jelak-Leposavic (41km) from the valleys of Toplice and Rasina.
