After the meeting with Bruges, Tasovac explained that this visit is historic because it opens the door for Serbian experts who will be able to use unique materials from the Vatican Library, which is a big step in the acquisition of new knowledge.
He pointed out that libraries are places where the knowledge of the past and the future crosses, noting that archives and libraries preserve the memory of historical events as they actually occurred.
Archbishop Bruges, who is on an first official visit to Belgrade at the invitation of the government of Serbia, recalled that on 8 September he signed the Protocol on cooperation between the Vatican Library and the National Library of Serbia (NBS).
This document provides for the exchange of publications, knowledge and expertise in the field of collecting, storing, processing and protection of library materials, as well as exchange of experts in the field of digitisation.
On 8 September, the Chief Archivist and Librarian of the Holy Roman Church also visited the Serbian Archives and saw the reading room and library.
The Vatican Apostolic Library, established in the 15th century, is one of the oldest and most important treasures of cultural heritage in the world.
