TEHRAN – The CEO of the Lazic Library in Serbia, Viktor Lazic, who is also heir to a long tradition of a family library that operated in Vojvodina from 1882 until 1977, is planning to deliver a speech about the library in Tehran. 

The lecture will take place at 3 p.m. at the Malek National Library and Museum, the organizers have announced.

Lazic is considered as one of Serbia’s most well-known modern travel writers. During his travels, he spends most of his resources on finding new books and artifacts for his library.

“The Lazic Library, which was officially founded in 1882, has survived nine generations to date,” wrote the Society for Culture, Art and International Cooperation (ADLIGAT) that is the coordinator of the library, the Museum of Serbian Literature and the Book and Travel Museum.

“We have more than one million bibliographic units, of which many thousands are considered rarities.
We are building a potent cultural institution, based in Belgrade, which will serve as a linchpin for Serbian culture,” it added.
