Minister Stanković Congratulates Students on European Informatics Olympiad Success Serbia’s latest tech triumph comes wrapped in medals and ministerial praise, as a team of high‑school girls returns from Italy with hardware in hand and a government eager to spotlight their success.

On Tuesday morning, Education Minister Dejan Vuk Stanković moved quickly to frame the outcome of the 6th European Informatics Olympiad for Girls as a national achievement. He publicly congratulated the Serbian team for securing one silver medal, one bronze medal and two commendations at the competition in Italy, underscoring that the students had achieved “excellent results” on the European stage.

Pro‑government outlets led the chorus. Telegraf highlighted the political center of gravity in its coverage, stressing that “Stanković congratulated female students on success at the 6th European Informatics Olympiad,” linking the girls’ performance directly to the minister’s message and the ministry’s agenda. The emphasis: this is proof that Serbia’s education system can produce world‑class talent in a field where the country is keen to claim a competitive edge.

Later in the day, Politika echoed and broadened that narrative, reporting that “Stanković Congratulates Students on Success at European Informatics Olympiad,” again foregrounding the minister while noting the full tally of one silver, one bronze and two commendations. Its framing pointed to “remarkable success” and the strong performance of Serbian girls in informatics at the European level, dovetailing neatly with official talking points about fostering women in STEM.

What’s missing so far is any dissenting or independent spin: the story, as told through firmly pro‑government lenses, is one of unqualified success, state‑endorsed pride, and a carefully curated showcase of girls in code.
