The Serbian Ministry of Culture stated that Serbian film director Goran Paskaljevic received the medal of the Knight of the French Order of Arts and Literature, the highest recognition in France for internationally recognised artists.
The statement adds that Paskaljevic was given the medal for the high-quality artistic work.
In line with the director’s own wish, the medal will be handed over to him on February 22, 2008, at the opening ceremony of the Belgrade film festival FEST, though it was first planned that Paskaljevic receives the medal at the French presidential palace in Paris, concludes the statement.
