CULTURAL EUROPEAN INTEGRATIONS WITH A VIEW OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION COOPERATION BETWEEN SERBIA AND EU

/in /by

People from different EU memeber states may have different ideas on their cultural identity, affiliations and citizenship, but they all face the same question: How can different cultural identities co-exist on the basis of mutual respect and an active desire to live as one community – the very values that underlie the European ideal of peace and security. Culture has always been a fundamental part of the process of European integrations. Since 1992, the Treaty establishing the European Community has provided a legal basis specifically for activities concerning the preservation and enhancement of cultural heritage. In line with the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, ratified by all the Member States and by the EU, the new agenda for culture reinforces the cultural dimension as a vital element of EU external relations. This priority, inter alia, is accompanied by a number of measures: to pursue the political dialogue in the field of culture and promote cultural exchanges between the EU and third countries as well as to build on external relations to set up financial and technical support.

/in /by

Finding an appropriate model of financing culture, which will largely meet the objectives of cultural policy, cultural needs and expectations of cultural community, does not mean making a definite choice of some of the existing concepts of financing culture. It means finding different combinations of organizational dimensions that correspond to the state tradition, socio-economic context, system of cultural institutions, relation between the state and culture, economic development etc. In the process of modelling an efficient system of financing culture the attention should be paid to both: the cultural and economic demands. The basic model of financing culture usually represents traditional practice that is difficult to change; reforms of the system of financing culture represent measures that have a prior corrective character, rather than radically changing pattern of financing culture. The paper discusses the various dimensions of relationship between the state and culture with a special attention paid to the genesis of financing culture. It will be examining different concepts of financing culture and socio-historical context of their emergence. The final paper section deals with historical context, current issues and perspectives of the financing culture in Serbia.
