“Culture and Diplomacy” thematic issue, which was edited by dr. Aleksandra Kolaković, has eleven published texts contributing to the research in cultural diplomacy and culture, that launch a public discussion on the present relation between culture and diplomacy.

In the introduction, Kolaković has underlined that “since spring 2020, when Covid-19 pandemic has closed the borders and significantly changed people’s lives in all countries of the world, culture and diplomacy have continued to overcome all obstacles imposed by the “new normality”. Establishment, development, maintenance and improvement of foreign relations of a country by means of culture, arts, sport, science and education have brought  about new tasks in new circumstances”. Cultural diplomacy as part of public diplomacy and the manner of growing ‘soft power’ in this context are especially significant for culture and for a country like Serbia.”
