Feasibility study for forming central conservation institute in Belgrade completed
Belgrade,
20 December 2007
Serbian Assistant Minister of Culture in charge of international relations, European integration and management development in culture Branislav Dimitrijevic said today that drafting of the feasibility study for founding a central conservation institute in Belgrade is complete, which is a major step forward in the realisation of this huge project.
Dimitrijevic told a press conference that a new phase is beginning which within the next few years will result in the beginning of work by the central conservation institute.
He said that the strategy drafted is one of the key steps in the realisation of the idea of forming a regional centre for conservation in Belgrade, which is being founded with the help of the Italian government.
Italy is a world leader in protection of cultural objects and this project should be an example for cooperation also with other countries, particularly EU countries, said Dimitrijevic.
According to Dimitrijevic, the feasibility study was drafted by a joint Italian-Serbian working group which defined regulations, implementation modalities, jurisdiction of the future institute and forms of restoration work it will carry out.
First Secretary at the Italian Embassy in Belgrade Filippo Colombo said that the document drafted is connected to cultural cooperation, as well as to overall relations between the two countries.
He recalled past projects carried out jointly by Italy and Serbia which began with technical help by Italian experts to Belgrade museums, and continued with joint work on restoration of the painting The Holy Family by Palma il Vecchio, following which work on the feasibility study began.
