An International Book Fair will take place in Belgrade from October 25 to November 2, 2025. Throughout all nine days, the fair will feature exciting book premieres, engaging meetings, and numerous cultural events for participants.

That same day, together with writer, television host, screenwriter, and publicist Platon Besedin, they will present the book "Bolder Thoughts: A Typographical Story of the Electric Vehicle Dream," published by Moscow Polytech.
