1 and 5 April 2014	Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade and Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad	2014 The International Particle Physics Masterclasses	50	The International Particle Physics Masterclasses in Serbia are organized by Universities of Belgrade and Novi Sad, in conjunction with the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (http://ippog.web.cern.ch/), and held on April 1, 2014 (Belgrade) and on April 5, 2014 (Novi Sad). IPB's Dusan Vudragovic and Vladimir Slavnic gave lectures on concepts of Grid and High Performance Computing (HPC) and available Serbian Grid and HPC resources. The aim of the Masterclasses is to introduce an exciting and rapidly developing scientific field dealing with some of the fundamental secrets of the nature to the 4th year high school students. The lectures were given by active researchers and professors to bring insight into topics and methods of basic research of matter, particles and forces acting between them, and distributed computing infrastructures that make that kind of research possible.

• NGI_AEGIS site AEGIS01-IPB-SCL provided interest to continue to act as an early adopter to following products: CREAM-Torque, CREAM, LB and WMS.
• Reporting the issues emerged after the release of Operations Portal 3.0 (https://helpdesk.aegis.rs/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=139).
• Starting and coordinating EMI-2 retirement campaign within NGI_AEGIS.
• VOMS servers configuration for ops VO and LHC experiments was updated at NGI_AEGIS site AEGIS01-IPB-SCL.
• Operational support to NGI_BA.
• Participating in tests being executed after each GGUS release for testing the functionality of interface from GGUS to external ticketing systems: https://helpdesk.aegis.rs/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=130 and https://helpdesk.aegis.rs/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=137.
