Great contribution of cultural cooperation to overall relations with Slovakia

Belgrade/Bratislava, 3 July 2025

Minister of Culture Nikola Selaković met in Bratislava, on the eve of the opening of the exhibition “Serbian Medieval Monasteries in Danger”, with Speaker of the National Assembly of Slovakia Richard Raši and President of the Culture Committee of the country’s parliament Roman Michelko.

The officials agreed that the previous cooperation between the two countries at the parliamentary level, as well as in the field of culture, has been very successful, and that it has been implemented through numerous meetings and cultural events.

Selaković informed the Speaker of the Slovak Parliament about the importance of the aforementioned exhibition, which, after the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, is also being implemented in the National Gallery in Bratislava.

According to him, the reason for holding this exhibition on the endangered cultural heritage of Serbia is the 20^th anniversary of the inscription of the Visoki Dečani Monastery on the UNESCO World Heritage List (2004).

He noted that this cultural property, located in the southern province of the Republic of Serbia, Kosovo and Metohija, is of exceptional universal value, and that it is one of the most endangered in Europe in the 21^st century.

The Minister thanked Slovakia for its principled position of non-recognition of the unilaterally declared independence of “Kosovo” and its consistent respect for international law.
