Belgrade, 28 September 2004 - TRH Crown Prince Alexander and Princess Katherine have attended tonight the official opening of the Congress of the gynaecologists of Serbia and Montenegro, “ECHO 04”. Over 20 participants from abroad are taking part at this Congress.

At first Dr Sulovic has welcomed the participants. He has stressed the importance of the development of gynaecology in last 35 years, from the first ultrasound machine up to today’s 4D. He has reminded his colleagues that the gynaecologists are cosmopolitans. They are part of the sadness and pain but also they are united in the greatest happiness. The other eminent names in gynecology have addressed the participants welcoming 20 foreign lecturers headed by Dr Nikolaidis.

HRH Crown Prince Alexander II then addressed the participants. He has expressed his pleasure for seeing experts from this important branch of medicine gathered in such numbers at the Congress.

“It is our wish to help our country become a country where the healthy children will come to this world and where the number of the new born children will be as high as possible. An early diagnosis in the pregnancy gives you, doctors, a possibility to react immediately and help mothers bear healthy children. I believe that this Congress will give a possibility to our doctors to be familiar with contemporary achievements in medicine, to exchange experiences with their colleagues. That would bring happiness to the babies and their parents. This is not only their happiness, this is a happiness of all of us, since a healthy posterity is the greatest asset of one country.”

The Congress is taking place at Sava Center. The eminent Dr. Nikolaidis had given already his lecture yesterday. The participants will have an opportunity through lectures and talks to exchange experiences and fill up gaps in knowledge of this branch of medicine.
