On 17 April 2018, Mayor Zoran Janković hosted Dr Shirin Ebadi, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003, in the City Hall.

Dr Shirin Ebadi is an Iranian lawyer and human rights activist. She received her law degree at the University of Teheran and passed the judicial service examinations. Social injustices of the regime of the Shah Reza Pahlavi led her, in her youthful idealism, to support the Islamic Revolution. In 1975 she became the first woman president of a city court in Teheran. After the Iranian Revolution, in 1979, the conservative religious leaders managed to remove her from the position. As all efforts to be reinstated as a judge failed, she asked for early retirement. Today she is a lecturer at the University of Teheran and legal representative of political prisoners and victims of abuse, especially children.

In 2003, she was the first Iranian and Muslim woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize for her work. Even after receiving the prize she continues to publicly advocate for the respect of human rights and represent people who came into conflict with the conservative authorities because of their convictions. In November 2009, the government seized her Nobel plaque and medal, imprisoned many of her colleagues and closed her office.
