Belgrade, 11 October 2002 – HRH Crown Prince Aleksandar II congratulated today Professor Milorad Pavić, one of the most important Serbian novelists and the Member of Crown Council, on winning the prestigious Andrić Prize.

“Hearing the news of your winning the Andrić Prize has made me very glad. You are certainly accustomed to awards, but I still believe that being the laureate of the acknowledgement that carries the name of our first Nobel Prize winner is something not easy to be compared with.
