Ministry of Culture of Serbia
The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia (Ministarstvo kulture) serves as a state administration body established under Article 15 of the Law on Ministries (Official Gazette RS, No. 72/12 and 76/13). The ministry oversees cultural development, artistic creation, heritage protection of movable and immovable cultural assets, library and publishing activities, cinematographic and music-stage activities, endowments and foundations, and cooperation in cultural heritage protection for Serbian people in the region. Located at Vlajkovićeva 3 in Belgrade, the ministry occupies the first and second floors of the former Agrarian Bank building, constructed between 1932 and 1934 by architects Petar and Branko Krstić as one of Belgrade’s last interwar banking palaces. The ministry also manages access to EU pre-accession funds, donations, and development aid projects, while participating in regional cultural initiatives as determined by law.
