Serbian neurosurgery has long earned its place on the world map of neurosurgery. It is our task to keep and reinforce that place by pursuing continuous enhancement of knowledge, skills, education and international cooperation. Leaning upon the strong foundations of tradition and experience and following contemporary professional accomplishments, trends and innovations, we strive for neurosurgery without frontiers and aim at building bridges of knowledge and understanding across disciplines, institutions, individuals and generations.

Hence our activities are aimed at scientific and professional development as well as global affirmation of neurosurgery in Serbia through international cooperation, which is carried out, among other things, through our membership in the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) and the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS). We pay special attention to the cooperation of neurosurgeons in the region and in that respect we proudly point out the First Congress of the Southeast Europe Neurosurgical Society (SeENS), organized by the Clinic of Neurosurgery at the Clinical Center of Serbia, Serbian Neurosurgical Society and Southeast Europe Neurosurgical Society, which was held with great success in Belgrade in 2013, marking two important landmarks in the history of Serbian neurosurgery – 90 years of neurosurgery in Serbia and 75 years of the Clinic of Neurosurgery at the Clinical Center of Serbia.

Dedicated to scientific, professional, academic, educational and social networking and exchange of expertise, experience and ideas, we have a clear sense of purpose – continuous enhancement and international affirmation of neurosurgery in Serbia – always keeping in mind that the essence of our profession is above all the well-being of every individual patient.
