The National Contact Centre for Child Online Safety marked Safer Internet Day (SID), a global initiative dedicated to creating a safer and more responsible digital environment for children and young people. The Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia, Prof. Dr. Đuro Macut, attended the high-level Safer Internet Day event at the Palace of Science in Belgrade, where he emphasised that children’s online safety is not merely a technical issue, but a matter of responsibility, care, and the values we build as a society.
Speaking at the conference, which was also attended by the Minister of Information and Telecommunications, Boris Bratina, and the Coordinator of the National Contact Center for Child Online Safety, Emina Beković, Prime Minister Macut stressed the importance of joint action. He highlighted that parents, caregivers, teachers, educators, institutions, and children themselves must work together, as only through a collective effort we can create a better and safer internet for everyone.
Special guests at the event were children from foster families from the village of Miloševac, who toured the Palace of Science, attended an educational lecture on child online safety, and participated in an interactive quiz. As a special surprise, a visit to the museum and stadium of FK Crvena zvezda was organised for the young people attending.
In addition, educational lectures on child online safety were held for students, parents and caregivers, and teachers at the primary schools “Mihajlo Pupin” and “Filip Filipović”, with more than 400 students in attendance.
Safer Internet Day serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring that the internet remains a space for knowledge, support, and trust, and above all, a safe place for children.
In Serbia, any threats to children’s online safety can be reported to the National Contact Center for Child Online Safety, established by the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications of Republic of Serbia, via the dedicated hotline at 19833.
