Prime Minister Ana Brnabic and Serbian Parliament Speaker Maja Gojkovic visited the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade today, which is now open to visitors after being closed for 10 years for reconstruction.
After visiting the exhibition "Sequences. The Art of Yugoslavia and Serbia from the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art," Brnabic said that this was the best day for her since she became a member of the Serbian government in August last year.
I am glad that after 10 years we are returning this museum to the public in Belgrade and Serbia, the Prime Minister said, adding that the government will focus on the completion of reconstruction works of the National Museum as of tomorrow, as it wants to show how important the culture is and that caring for culture is a precondition for the country’s progress.
She expressed her gratitude to her colleagues in the current and previous government, who made a great effort to complete the reconstruction of this museum, as well as to President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic, who insisted that the works be brought to an end as soon as possible.
