He has been a member of the board of the Mathematical Society of Serbia (2003–2006), president of the Scientific Council of the Mathematical Institute at Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgrade (1997–2010), vice president of the Scientific Society of Serbia since 2002, president of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (2006–2010), and president of the Scientific Committee for Mathematics, Computer Sciences and Mechanics.

gollark: Like "quantum".
gollark: They are sciency-sounding words which turn up a lot but have somewhat complex definitions.
gollark: I mean, in an extreme edge case, what if there's only one person in the entire universe, they punch a wall, and randomly die for unrelated reasons? How is that going to cause more violence down the line?
gollark: That's not some sort of universal truth, just a rough heuristic which is somewhat accurate.
gollark: I mean, those apply to some narrowly defined things in physics, for limited definitions of "action" and such, but not in general so far as I can tell.
