On the occasion, it was stated that the procedure for obtaining approval for mounting the bust of Mileva Maric at Zurich University was in progress, with an expectation that the procedure would be completed in the next few months. Furthermore, an idea was launched that the National Bank of Serbia issue a banknote with the image of Mileva Maric Einstein, thus paying additional tribute to one of the most prominent Serbian, as well as world, woman scientists. The "Tesla Society" made a specific proposal by presenting a poster in the form of a banknote, as an idea of what such banknote could possibly look like.
