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 1932-1934 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.
