BELGRADE, Serbia (AA) - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced Wednesday that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and his wife will receive Serbian citizenship and passports.

''They will, today or tomorrow, become citizens of Serbia, and that is the greatest possible honor for us,'' said Vucic after meeting with Wozniak in the capital Belgrade.

During his address to the media, Vucic first introduced Wozniak and his achievements.

"For us, the conversation about education was of key importance. How to change the awareness of all people that education is one of the most important links for us," Vucic said.

Wozniak has been involved in various business and philanthropic ventures over the years, focusing primarily on teaching computer skills to 11- to 13-year-olds in schools.

He also founded a post-secondary education and training platform focused on software engineering and technology development.

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said Wozniak's visit to Serbia is the result of the state’s long-term investment in education and especially the information technology sector.
