The National Programme for Culture 2014 – 2017, adopted in 2013 by the National Assembly at the proposal of the Government, contains development goals and measures to unlock development potential in different areas, and establish culture as an essential factor of development of both the individual and society.

This is why some of the goals (architecture, creative industries, cultural industries, cultural tourism, etc.) whose basis and key constituents are art and cultural creativity are explicitly development oriented and extended across sector perimeters. In the coming period, the cultural sector will have the initiative in the realisation of these goals and will oversee their implementation. Cultural policy will become an important element of Government policy and will contribute to the development of the country as a whole and to the well-being of every individual.

The main goals of the National Programme for Culture 2014-2017 (NPC) address three levels: 1. individual cultural areas, where adequate measures responding to key challenges in the area are being defined; 2. areas with a spill-over effect, which enrich and add value to individual areas; 3. distinct structural areas, concerning in particular reform of the labour market reform regarding the cultural industry.
