The FSC was officially founded in 2004, and today it brings together more than 300 million Slavs. For fifteen years, the foundation has been equally and democratically con- necting its 13 member countries while taking utmost care to renew, expand and strengthen the cultural ties be- tween our nations. Andreja Rihter, PhD, I firmly believe that cultural liaisons Director of the and cooperation are the key to nerv- Forum of Slavic Cultures ing Slavic creativity, strengthening our identity and reviving the cultural dia- logue in both the European and wider global arena. It makes me very happy that over the 15 years of our cooperation through joint projects and collaborations we have succeeded in forging strong friendships across the network of Slavic countries, and have fortified the cultural bridges across diverse Europe. Our work is guided by the principles of mutual respect of our diversity, equality of all cultural and artistic ex- pressions and active intercultural di- alogue. We believe these are the key postulates for a respectful and toler- ant coexistence in a world that is be- coming more complex by the minute. When we first started with the Fo- rum of Slavic Cultures there was a great deal of work to be done. Fifteen years later, I can affirm that we have achieved a lot, but many challenges remain to be tackled. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to the future, knowing that we are a big and closely connected family that has much more to offer still. Good luck and all the best! 4 FSC AS SPECIAL PROGRAMME GUEST 2019 (40) professionals / experts (11) (10) Slavic countries different sections (11) customized events in 4 days I’ve been involved with the FSC ever since I started my career as a curator. I really like the approach that they introduced in con- necting the Slavic cultures in a contemporary way. I have parti- cipated in conferences and events organised by the FSC, I have made great professional contacts and gained new knowledge, which was more than useful in my career. INTERMUSEUM 2018 in Moscow, where my institution participated and where I par- ticipated in a panel discussion, was one of the highlights of my career so far. I can hardly wait for more beautiful things to happen in magical St. Petersburg and it will be great honour to participate in the forthcoming event. Mladen Banjac, curator in the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina 5 ABOUT THE FSC The Forum of Slavic Cultures is an international foundation, a non-prof- it and non-government organization whose idea emerged in the cultural circles at the turn of the 21st century. It was officially founded in 2004 and today unites more than 300 million Slavs in 13 Slavic countries: Belarus, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Montenegro, Croatia, North Macedonia, Poland, the Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia and Ukraine. The central commitment of the Foun- dation is the implementation of joint cultural, educational and research projects that promote Slavic cultural heritage and creativity. The Forum of Slavic Cultures is more and more ref- erential global platform of intercultur- al dialogue as well as taking over the role of a key hub of Slavic countries in the fields of art and culture, education and science and cultural tourism.

My museum ‒ Gallery of Matica Srpska ‒ won the first Živa award for the best museum in Slavic countries in 2014, so I am very aware how important the acti- vities such as international conferences and the Živa Award are for museums in our region, and how they CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS bring new knowledge and examples of best practices to help museums to improve their work and connect (archives, libraries, societies, with other Slavic museums. galleries, museums, theatres) Tijana Palkovljević Bugarski, Director of the Gallery of Matica Srpska, Serbia (500) Ministries of Culture, Foreign Affairs, Economy, Tourism Authors, translators, distributors, publishers (25) (210) UNESCO, Council of Europe Museums (200) Centres of Slavic Cultures (Moscow, Radlje ob Dravi, Belgrade) Educational institutions (30) Local communities (32) 8 9 10 11 PROGRAMME OF FORUM OF SLAVIC CULTURES AT THE VIII ST. PETERSBURG INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL FORUM the Programme may be subject to change “In the turbulent age of rapid political, economic, social and environmental transformation, cultural dialogue seems to be more important than ever befo- re. Art is becoming an important arena of transnational discourse and its role in the building of national identities has never been more important. In this context we can only welcome events such as the International Cultural Forum, which brings together those who produce culture today, those who are engaged in the reproduction of culture and the public discourse (media) as well as deci- sion makers. With its events and activities the Slovenia-based Forum of Slavic Cultures tries to reconnect the unique space of Slavic cultures that was lost 30 years ago, after the fall of the Berlin wall. Our participation in the context of a broader audience is therefore of great importance.” Saša Šavel Burkart, Editor of the Cultural Programme at the Slovenian National TV, Slovenia 12 13 November, 18:00 – 20:00 Živa after Živa Award handing and reception for the FSC delegation Venue: The State Museum of Political History of Russia Address: 2-4 Kuibysheva St, St. Petersburg Press Scrum 14 November, 09:45 – 10:15 The official opening of the VIII Saint Petersburg International Cultural Forum* Venue: The Hermitage headquarters Address: Dvortsovaya square, 6-10, St. Petersburg Inaugural address on behalf of FSC by Andreja Rihter, Director of the Forum of Slavic Cultures 14 November, 10:30 – 11:00 Reading corner «100 Slavic Novels» Venue: The Hermitage headquarters Catering zone Address: Dvortsovaya square, 6-10, St. Petersburg Speakers: • Dubravka Đurić Nemec, FSC Editorial Board and Chief Adviser to the Minister of Culture (Croatia) • Aleksandar Gatalica, Writer (Serbia) • Janez Virk, Writer (Slovenia) Visitors will be able to meet closer the compositions of the best modern Slavic novelists. 14 November, 12:00 – 13:00 Exhibition opening «100 Slavic Novels» and Live readings Venue: V.

  • Srpska Knji@Evnost Na Kraju Veka, Iz Generacije U Generaciju
    Zoran \eri} SRPSKA KNJI@EVNOST NA KRAJU VEKA, IZ GENERACIJE U GENERACIJU Ne ulaze}i u spekulacije o tome {ta je kraj na{eg veka (a mnogo ih je, ne samo me|u istori~arima i politi~arima, ve} i me|u filosofima i knji`evnim teoreti~arima), nastoja}e- mo da damo pregled najzna~ajnijih autora i naslova srpske knji`evnosti u poslednjih de- setak godina. U~ini}emo to, najpre, po `anrovima, hronolo{ki, a delimi~no i poeti~ki, kriti~ki vrednuju}i ono {to su srpska knji`evna kritika i razni `iriji za nagrade, ve} izdvo- jili. Bilo kako da izdvajamo, po svim kriterijumima, o~igledno je da su delatne razli~ite generacije, od najstarije do najmla|e, i da se iz godine u godinu pa`nja kritike i ~itala~- ke javnosti nepredvidljivo menja – biraju}i za predmet svojih interesovanja ~as zrelog pi- sca, pri kraju knji`evne karijere, ~as po~etnika, mladog, ili do tog trenutka nedovoljno zapa`enog, ili nerealizovanog starijeg pisca. Roman je, nesumnjivo, naj~itanija knji`evna forma, i u Srbiji i Crnoj Gori. Po razli~i- tim izve{tajima, od izdava~a, knji`evnih `irija, novina i ~asopisa, na srpskom jeziku se svake godine pojavi vi{e od 100 romana. Za poslednjih desetak godina, ta brojka prela- zi 1000. A ipak se govori o krizi romana, koja je, naravno, u vrednosnom smislu, jer se po kvantitetu srpska romaneskna produkcija mo`e meriti sa mnogim drugim velikim na- cionalnim knji`evnostima. NIN-ova nagrada za roman godine, koja se dodeljuje gotovo pola veka, dobar je pokazatelj de{avanja, pre svega, knji`evnog stanja, mo}i i nemo}i pojedinih autoriteta, izdava~kih ku}a, medija, ali i interesovanja javnosti za pojedinog pisca i njegovo, tako uo~eno, delo.

  • Serbia in 2001 Under the Spotlight
    1 Human Rights in Transition – Serbia 2001 Introduction The situation of human rights in Serbia was largely influenced by the foregoing circumstances. Although the severe repression characteristic especially of the last two years of Milosevic’s rule was gone, there were no conditions in place for dealing with the problems accumulated during the previous decade. All the mechanisms necessary to ensure the exercise of human rights - from the judiciary to the police, remained unchanged. However, the major concern of citizens is the mere existential survival and personal security. Furthermore, the general atmosphere in the society was just as xenophobic and intolerant as before. The identity crisis of the Serb people and of all minorities living in Serbia continued. If anything, it deepened and the relationship between the state and its citizens became seriously jeopardized by the problem of Serbia’s undefined borders. The crisis was manifest with regard to certain minorities such as Vlachs who were believed to have been successfully assimilated. This false belief was partly due to the fact that neighbouring Romania had been in a far worse situation than Yugoslavia during the past fifty years. In considerably changed situation in Romania and Serbia Vlachs are now undergoing the process of self identification though still unclear whether they would choose to call themselves Vlachs or Romanians-Vlachs. Considering that the international factor has become the main generator of change in Serbia, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia believes that an accurate picture of the situation in Serbia is absolutely necessary. It is essential to establish the differences between Belgrade and the rest of Serbia, taking into account its internal diversities.
