The Association of Writers of Serbia (, ) is Serbia's official writing association. Its current president is Miloà ¡ JankoviÃÂ.
The association was founded on 26 May 1905. Its founders and first members were Aleksandar BeliÃÂ, Borivoje PopoviÃÂ, Dobrosav Ruà ¾iÃÂ, Dragomir JankoviÃÂ, Dragoljub PavloviÃÂ, Dragutin IliÃÂ, à ½ivojin DaÃÂiÃÂ, Jovan SkerliÃÂ, Lujo VojnoviÃÂ, Ljubomir JovanoviÃÂ, Milan MiliÃÂeviÃÂ, Milovan Glià ¡iÃÂ, Milorad MitroviÃÂ, Milorad PavloviÃÂ-Krpa, Nikola VuliÃÂ, Pavle PopoviÃÂ, Petar OdaviÃÂ, Radoje DomanoviÃÂ, Rista OdaviÃÂ, Simo Matavulj (as president) and Stanoje StanojeviÃÂ.
Association was re-established after the liberation of Belgrade on the meeting which took place on 31 December 1944. Notable signatories to the initiative included Isidora SekuliÃÂ, Ivo AndriÃÂ, Jovan PopoviÃÂ, Milan VukasoviÃÂ, Branko LazareviÃÂ and others. Isidora SekuliÃÂ was elected as the first post-war president while Oskar DaviÃÂo was its first secretary. Association brought together authors who joined or supported Yugoslav Partisans and those who did not collaborate with Axis or local quislings during the Axis occupation of Serbia and the rest of Yugoslavia. In addition to its cultural and social role, association started to play prominent role as a writers' syndicalist organization. It established two separate regional sections for the Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo, second of which declared its intention to constitute itself as an independent organization in 1970.
As a result of the Slovene Writers' Association's support of the 1989 Kosovo miners' strike, the UKS broke off its relations with the Slovene Writers' Association.
The Association of Writers of Serbia states its main goals as gathering Serbian authors in the same community, protecting the professional interests of its members, working on their interpersonal relationships, working on relations with publishers and the general public, making their job(s) easier and helping its members or their families who are in poverty.
