Srpski siti klub (SSK) ovom prilikom želi da vas obavesti da je punoletnim državljanima Srbije koji privremeno ili stalno borave u Velikoj Britaniji uskraćeno pravo glasa na ovogodišnjim izborima za Narodnu skupštinu Republike Srbije. Prema našim informacijma, Ambasadi Republike Srbije u Londonu se uredno prijavilo više od 100 srpskih državljana…

Emboldened by this experience the management committee decided it wanted to do something to support and thank the health systems in Britain and Serbia who were doing so much to protect and look after the general public in both countries. We decided to hold an on-line fundraising concert on 3rd May 2020 with any funds raised being split equally between Serbia and Britain. The ‘We are in this Together Concert’, was organised and co-hosted by Lazar Vukovic, a member of the Serbian Council management committee and featured RJ Gibb (son of the late Robin Gibb of the the Bee Gee’s), the Serbian pop star Boban Rajovic, a magician Andrew Eborn , who also co-hosted the event and there were guest appearances from by Toyah Wilcox and Tony Moore. The concert which had ….views raised £1,150 for the NHS and Lifeline in Serbia.

The solution was to use Zoom to hold virtual management committee meetings.
