Although Ivanovic’s website claims she has been nominated for an award the US State Dept website has no mention of her among the 8 2008 recipients.

Exactly what is it that Ivanovic did that was courageous? The programs in which she participated are excellent, but I fail to see where courage is an element in the activities. This is not a slam against Ivanovic, but on such a cheap use of the word “courage.”
