Belarus will host the Days of Culture of Serbia in 2013.

       The agreement was reached by Culture Minister of Belarus Pavel Latushko and Minister of Culture and Information of Serbia Bratislav Petkovic, who signed a cooperation program in culture and art for 2012-2017.
       Pavel Latushko noted that the Days of Culture of Serbia in Belarus is a response action. The Days of Belarusian Culture were held in Serbia in 2005. Back then Belarusian art was represented by the State Chamber Orchestra, vocal group Kamerata of the Belarusian Philharmonic, song and dance company “Belye Rosy” of the Grodno Regional Philharmonic, the soloists of the National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theater of the Republic of Belarus.
       In his words, the sides are expected to pay more attention to joint work in cinematography. Belarus has been invited to hold the Days of Belarusian Cinema in Serbia in 2013. The Days of Serbian Cinema will be held in Belarus in 2014. There are plans to involve filmmakers and producers of the two countries in considering joint cinematographic projects.
       The cooperation program approved by the two ministries also envisages development of contacts in music and theater art, museum and library affairs, exhibition activity, protection of historical and cultural heritage.
