Summary/Abstract: Reverend Father, the honourable Presidency of Matica Srpska, respected Zmaj Award judges, ladies and gentlemen... Today, on this ceremonious occasion, I am honoured to receive the award named after Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, on the 197th anniversary of the founding of the Matica Srpska, which gives me an immense feeling of satisfaction and, above all, pride. Matica has put its centuries-old stamp on these feelings by singling out my book and awarding it this prize—the most significant among the Serbian people. I am thrilled to be in your midst today, dear brothers and sisters! Kindly overlook my enthusiasm, as I am thoroughly savouring my journey to Novi Sad and my present moment. As a writer familiar with Matica, I am fully conscious of where my soul and heart reside.
