I will arrange as soon as possible a meeting with the NGOs and with all the guilds and unions, working on the National Strategy for Culture, said today the new Minister of Culture Dr. Petar Stojanovic at the symbolic handover of power ceremony between him and his predecessor Vladimir Penev, culture minister in the interim government.
nd I will have a more detailed "snapshot" of the state of the Ministry of Culture created too, a lot of very serious work is waiting for us, looking at the situation, added Minister Petar Stojanovic.
Vladimir Penev handed Peter Stojanovic a copy of the Manasses Chronicle that the ministers of culture traditionally pass on to each other. Penev thanked the entire team of the Ministry, who helped him fulfill his commitments as interim minister, expressing hope that he helped move things forward during the short term of the interim government. Being a minister was a heavy cross, but useful a test for me, said Vladimir Penev and wished good luck to the new Minister of Culture.
Minister Petar Stojanovic thanked interim Minister of Culture Penev for his work and said he had only had one spring, but that spring had been a really blooming one.
