A delegation from the Museum of Republika Srpska and the leadership of the Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade held discussions on a series of joint initiatives, among which the planned participation of both institutions in a major exhibition in Paris next year stands out. The exhibition will be organized as part of the program of the Cultural Center of Serbia in the French capital.
“The exhibition will be dedicated to Zmijanje embroidery, the first element of the intangible cultural heritage of Republika Srpska inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List,” stated the Ethnographic Museum.
It was agreed that the exhibition will also be part of the celebration marking the 125th anniversary of the Ethnographic Museum.
The meeting also addressed the exchange of experts and experiences in the fields of conservation, digitalization, and museological research.
Director of the Ethnographic Museum, Marko Krstić, said that today’s visit of the delegation from Republika Srpska to Belgrade is part of the joint efforts to deepen cooperation between Serbia and Srpska through the united preservation and presentation of the cultural heritage of the Serb people on both sides of the Drina, as part of a shared tradition.
“The visit reflects our mutual commitment to act together and in a focused way to preserve what makes us a people with a rich and recognizable tradition,” said Krstić.
Director of the Museum of Republika Srpska, Davor Strika, emphasized that cooperation with cultural institutions from Serbia, such as the Ethnographic Museum, is of strategic importance for Republika Srpska.
“Only through joint efforts can we successfully preserve and pass on our heritage to future generations,” Strika stated.
