The new IPRA President, Nataša Pavlović Bujas, was presented with the IPRA Chain of Office at a ceremony hosted by the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, in Belgrade last week.
The Chain, forged in Turkish silver gilt, and bearing the names of her predecessors, was presented by President 2019 – 2020 Svetlana Stavreva.
“We are both proud to host this event and proud of our own member Nataša, to be recognised on the world stage for her public relations prowess,” commented Chamber president Marko Čadeż.
“We are entering a new era not because of me but because of AI. Artificial Intelligence again brings to the surface the issues of trust and ethics”, said the IPRA President, “and I ask the question: Are we ready? That is why I have adopted trustworthy and ethical PR in the AI era, as the theme of my presidential year.”
Nataša is Serbian and founder of Blumen group, an agency for integrated communications and business consulting, based in Belgrade. She has more than 25 years of experience in strategic communications, brand development and market positioning. She has won national and international awards, including the GWA Grand Prix. She is a 2022 alumna of the Fortune US Department of State global women's mentoring partnership. In the last ten years Nataša has worked as a business coach and gives guest courses and lectures in Europe and the US.

Background to the Golden World Awards for Excellence.
The annual IPRA Golden World Awards (GWA) initiative, established in 1990, recognizes excellence in public relations practice worldwide in a variety of categories. Recipients of the award take particular pride in the recognition granted to their entry as meeting international standards of excellence in public relations. An overall IPRA Grand Prix for Excellence is presented each year to the entry judged as representing the highest standards that year. While there are many national and regional PR awards, there is only one truly global scheme: the GWA.
