During a working meeting held at Villa Zlatica, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Culture of the Republic of Serbia, as well as the President of the FSK Board, Maja Gojković, and the Director of the Forum of Slavic Cultures, Andreja Rihter, engaged in a productive discussion on the importance of implementing the FSK program designed to promote the rich cultural heritage of the Slavic countries.
The primary topic of discussion was centered around the enhancement of cooperation between the Republic of Serbia and FSK, with particular emphasis on the Women Writers Route and design project titled Transformation: FROM Slavic clothing tradition TO modern creations. FSK is set to participate in activities in Čačak this September, where a collection of 100 Slavic novels will be presented. This year, the city of Čačak is hosting cultural activities under the theme “Čačak 2023 – The First National Capital of Culture,” which is one of the most significant projects of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia and is modeled after the European Capital of Culture initiative. We are eagerly anticipating an enthralling presentation of the city’s rich history, notable figures, tangible and intangible cultural heritage, as well as lesser-known stories.
In the upcoming months, a new chapter of cooperation between Gojković and Rihter will focus on organizing the 20th anniversary of the Forum of Slavic Cultures, commencing in Ljubljana and concluding in the Serbian capital of culture 2024, Užice. We look forward to celebrating this milestone anniversary in grand manner.
Once again, the Serbian delegation has made a generous contribution to the FSK library by donating books. Specifically, they have donated the Anthology Edition of Ten Ages of Serbian Literature published by the Matica Srpska. The initiator and editor-in-chief of this anthology is academic Miro Vuksanović.
