“I have always wanted to be appointed the ambassador to Serbia since this country has the natural role of the whole region spine,“ says the new French ambassador who claims that he belongs to the generation that knows a lot about the Serbian-French City friendship tradition

he first thing that Mr. Jean- their association under the auspices What is it that you like the most François Terral has done of the French Embassy. He has in our city? upon arriving to Belgrade launched this motion upon seeing how at the end of April in order impressive was the number of those “I like Belgrade very much because toT take over the duty of the French scholars who occupy the leading posts it is so dynamic. Intellectual and Ambassador to our country was to lay in the Serbian intellectual skies. cultural life is very rich and the people a wreath at the Gratitude to France Since he has already spent eight who I get to know are interesting and monument in the . months in our country it is quite educated.

This is a between Serbia and France during Belgrade and Serbia and further cosmopolitan city where you can find the First World War. With this gesture initiatives regarding cooperation and everything you need.“ Mr. Jean-François Terral has showed cherishing of friendship between our that he respects tradition. And he has two countries. Is there anything that bothers continued in this manner. you or that you would like to In the Belgrade French Embassy During these first eight months change? that can boast of the best location you have spent in Belgrade have in the city, with the view of the you got used to the life and work in “It bothers me that all the Kalemegdan Park and the mouth our capital? Do you like being here? beauties of this city have not yet been of the Rivers Sava and , emphasized in the way they deserve frequently are evoked memories of “Of course I have immediately it.

I acclaim all the efforts of the city authorities to fix all the facades, streetlights, and decorative building lights, parks… It is nice to see Kalemegdan Fortress or the bridge lit… I would also like the traffic to be more reduced and organized. Unfortunately, as is the case in Paris, here also traffic jams are frequent especially in the part of the city where our Embassy is located. Driving style of the Belgrade citizens with their aggressiveness reminds me of the one that is characteristic for my fellow citizens in Paris and that is something that I have been used to. I am sorry so many museums are being renovated and therefore their collections are not available to the public. At the same time, this means that efforts are being made for the cultural heritage to be presented in the representative and safe way in the future.“

Before Belgrade you were the Ambassador of France to Macedonia. Could you possibly compare Belgrade and Serbia with Skoplje and Macedonia?

“I was very happy in Skoplje and I have many friends in Macedonia. However, Serbia is a country that has the natural role of the whole region spine. This being not just for the past but because it is justified by its geographic location, economic and human potential, its state and administrative capabilities. I am trying to travel as much as I can round Serbia. For the time being I have had more business visits but my intention is to start discovering its different charms privately.“

What part of Belgrade you like the best?

“I suppose I won’t say anything original if I opt for Kalemegdan the Embassy is located, its very the French school that has been in Park. Such a beautiful park in the centre, the Belgrade Saborna Crkva, its full expansion and hopefully going middle of the city and just beneath Kosancicev venac, then the part that down the path of becoming a lycée. my windows is really a privilege. you walk down to the green markets For my part, I prefer smaller urban Now, in autumn, the park is really and Bajloni and all the complexes as Vracar, Zemun, Dorcol, beautiful and, from my terrace, I way to the river banks.

In Dedinje there is also do you like to go?

According to your opinion, what segments of that relationship should “My personal wish is to organize be improved? something that would be remembered in the sphere of film, but since such “You should never be satisfied with realization is very complicated and the existing level of the relationship expensive it would be better not to tell between two countries. Instead, one you anything about it.

Nevertheless, speaking more would like the French Cultural Centre precisely, one of my priorities is the to set up special different activities cooperation in the field of economy. regarding the European construction.

However, mutual characteristic of the French “You have very nice green markets our wish is to have more French and the Serbs? and I love to go shopping with my wife investments and therefore we are over weekends.

6 The building of the French Embassy designed in the style of the French modernistic architecture between the two wars and enriched with the elements of classicism is located in the very heart of Belgrade, in the Pariska Street, opposite the Kalemegdan Park. It was built in 1932, according to the architectural design of Henri Roger Expert, the leading architect of the French Government. The specious festive stairway is coated with the white marble from the Vencac Mountain, as well as the surface of all the façades. On the top of the building are placed the statues of three female figures symbolizing liberty, equality and fraternity, well-known symbols of France. The sculptures, as well as numerous low reliefs on the main façade, are the work of Karl Sarabezol. Railings and gates were done by Raymond Cibes. Above the enormous entrance door there is one more symbol of France – “Marianne“. Roman numbers are inscribed on the ceiling denoting the year in which the Embassy was opened – XCMXXXIII (1933).

7 This Order as well as the big retrospection of my films that is being prepared for January in New York Museum of Modern Art make me obliged to prove with my future work that it has not been by chance that I was chosen for such honours for what I have already done

They were fascinated with the beauty of the people, smartness and neatness of the Belgrade women, the fact that there are several parties in the city organized every night…“ Ms. Tanja Petrovic explains that all this is thanks to the rivers. “They are the biggest strength of Belgrade; they carry a kind of unbelievable energy.
