A glass museum and cultural projects focused on state investment - here's what's being built and changed!
The Ministry of Culture in Serbia has allocated 9.7 million dinars to develop cultural infrastructure, protect cultural heritage, and improve museum activities in Paraćin. The agreement was signed between Minister of Culture Nikola Selaković and Mayor of Paraćin Vladimir Milićević. The funds are part of the 'Cities in Focus 2026' competition, which provided seven million dinars for the project 'Paraćin – City of Glass: How Industry Became Art.' These funds will support the final phase of equipping the Museum of Glass, including interior design, expert supervision, technical inspection, purchase of audiovisual equipment, creation of visual identity, and graphic design of the museum layout. Minister Selaković emphasized that the Museum of Glass is part of the larger national program 'Leap into the Future 2027' and is being prepared for the EXPO 2027, which will take place outside Belgrade. He noted that since taking office, the ministry has allocated 129 million dinars specifically for this museum project, bringing the total allocated since 2022 to 164.6 million dinars, making it one of the largest cultural infrastructure projects outside Belgrade. The museum is considered important,
Ministarstvo kulture Srbije je donelo decembarsku odluku da uloži skoro 10 miliona dinara u razvoj kulturne infrastrukture u gradu Paraćinu, što predstavlja značajan korak u unapređenju kulturnog nasleđa i turističke ponude tog kraja. Ovaj fond, koji iznosi 9,7 miliona dinara, bio je rezultat ugovora između ministra kulture Nikola Selakovića i predsednika opštine Paraćin Vladimir Milićević. Projekat, koji se fokusira na Muzej staklarstva, predstavlja deo državnog programa "Skok u budućnost 2027" i povezan je sa pripremama za EKSPO 2027, koji će se održati van Beograda. Ovaj projekt je takođe deo većeg konkurza "Gradovi u fokusu 2026", koji je obezbedio sedam miliona dinara za realizaciju projekta "Paraćin – grad stakla: kako je industrija postala umetnost".
U skladu sa saopštenjem Ministarstva kulture, sredstva su namenjena završnoj fazi opremanja Muzeja staklarstva, uključujući radove na uređenju enterijera, stručni nadzor, tehnički pregled objekta, nabavku audio-vizuelne opreme, kreiranje vizuelnog identiteta i grafičko oblikovanje muzejske postavke. Ministar Selaković je naglasio da je od trenutka kada je na čelu Ministarstva kulture, za ovaj projekat Muzeja staklarstva, Ministarstvo kulture opštini Paraćin doznačilo 129 miliona dinara. Ukupno, od 2022. godine, do sada je opredeljeno 164,6 miliona dinara, što čini ovaj projekt jednim od najvećih u oblasti kulturne infrastrukture koji se realizuje van Beograda. Prema njegovim rečima, Muzej staklarstva ima značajnu ulogu ne samo za kulturnu zajednicu, već i za kulturno-turističku ponudu Paraćina i celine Pomoravskog okruga.
Na drugoj strani, u Negotinu, Ministarstvo kulture je donело odluku da uloži 18,5 miliona dinara za razvoj kulturne infrastrukture. Sredstva su namenjena arheološkom nalazištu Vrelo-Šarkamen, zameni stolarije zgrade Muzeja Hajduk Veljka, osavremenjavanju prostora, međunarodnom festivalu vlaške muzike "Gergina", Domu kulture "Stevan Mokranjac" i obeležavanju 180. godinice Negotinske Narodne biblioteke. Ministar Selaković je, tokom posete Negotinu, naveo da je od aprila 2024. do početka jula 2026. godine, Ministarstvo kulture uložilo više od 102 miliona dinara u taj grad. On je dodatno napomenio da će ulaganja za ovu godinu biti još veća, jer neki konkursi još nisu obrađeni ni objavljeni, a podršku će svakako dobiti i održavanje 60. Mokranjčevih dana.
Ovi projekti pokazuju da se Srbija usmerava ka razvoju kulturne infrastrukture i turizma, posebno u regionalnim centrima. Uloga Ministarstva kulture u ovim procesima je ključna, jer omogućava lokalnim zajednicama resurse za unapređenje kulturnog nasleđa i promociju kulturnih aktivnosti. Oba projekta, u Paraćinu i Negotinu, imaju svoju specifičnu vrednost, ali i zajedničku cilj – da doprinese razvoju lokalnih zajednica i proširenju kulturnog dostupa.
