With special respect and pleasure, we present the Proceedings of the Fourth Memorial Scientific and Professional Conference “Predrag Marić”, which will be held on March 19, 2026, on the topic “Modern Integrated Disaster Risk Management”. The conference is jointly organized by the Faculty of Security, University of Belgrade, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, and the Institute for International Politics and Economics, with the aim of contributing, through scientific and professional dialogue, to the improvement of national and local capacities in disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery, as well as to strengthening community resilience. The memorial conference is dedicated to the memory of the untimely passing of Police General Predrag Marić, a long-time Assistant to the Minister of Internal Affairs, Head of the Emergency Situations Sector, and lecturer at the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Security, whose professional and institutional contribution was of exceptional importance for the development of a modern disaster risk reduction system in the Republic of Serbia. His vision of a systemic approach, linking scientific knowledge, the normative framework, and operational practice, represents the value foundation of this gathering and a direct inspiration for the topics the conference addresses. The conference’s thematic framework focuses on modern concepts of integrated risk management, which entail interdisciplinarity, intersectoral cooperation, and continuity of measures across all phases of the risk management cycle, from hazard and vulnerability assessment, through prevention and mitigation, to emergency management, recovery, and reconstruction. This approach encourages dialogue between researchers and practitioners, representatives of state authorities, protection and rescue services, local governments, academia, and the private and civil sectors, in order to translate scientific results as directly as possible into applicable policies and procedures.
