THE COUNTRY: PUBLIC GOODS NATIONAL HERITAGE Culture for the privileged The culture of any country is the question of its identity and the mirror of its national being. In this sense, Montenegro has good and renowned artists. A decade after Montenegrin independence, it could be concluded that the cultural policy of the country was managed in different ways. A certain progress could be noticed in the sense of referral of citizens to culture through different festivals and cultural events. However, a more significant step forward is still expected. To begin with, in the previous decade, Montenegro obtained the name for its own language and the university where this language is studied. One of the national programs for the development of culture of Montenegro states that the foundations of the Montenegrin cultural identity are based on are the principles of the European Union. The European Union most frequently defines the policy in the field of culture as “unity within diversity.” Mid 2006, Montenegro became the 192 nd member-state of the United Nations and one year later a full member of the Council of Europe, thus undertaking the commitment to observe the documents of these institutions. By signing the Stabilization and Association Agreement, our country committed itself to improve cultural cooperation. To date, the Ministry of Culture has coordinated two significant EU programs, mainly aimed at the NGO sector but the institutions of culture as well: “Culture 2007-2013” and “Europe for Citizens 2012.” Within “Culture 2007-2013,” with the duration of approximately four years, 33 projects in the field of translation, publication, European cultural festivals were nominated, whereas six projects obtained support. The annual Montenegrin contribution totaled app. 20,000.00 euros whereas the total support to these projects for four years totaled 150,000.00 euros. To remind, one of the longest programs of the Ministry of Culture from the time of regaining independence up to present day is the program “Montenegro, One Cultural Address.” The project “Program of Culture Development in the Municipalities in the North of Montenegro,” initiated by the Ministry of Culture, started being implemented in 2009. The Government of Montenegro allocated 5.65 million euros for that purpose, out of which app. one million euros was spent on the program activities. The promotion of cultural policy in Montenegro was mainly reduced to individual initiatives, not only during the transition period or during the ten years of independence. It was rarely reduced to the strategically well-designed program and usable state concept compliant with national interests. As for the funds from the budget of Montenegro, the allocation for culture was inclined to theatre or, more precisely, to the Montenegrin National Theatre and summer festivals controlled by the people who are related to this institution. The majority of other institutions obtained only the leftovers of the overall budget allocated for culture. In the past ten years since independence, there have been no significant theatrical events, at least not of greater significance for the rest of Europe or the rest of the world. 89
10 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE - INSIGHT VIEW Photo: www.crna.gora.me There were no significant events at the Theatre in the last ten years, at least not significant for the rest of Europe or the world Montenegro still does not have cinematography which is sufficiently developed and sufficiently experienced to accomplish some more significant results in this field. The Law on Cinematography was adopted and the setting up of the Movie Centre is expected in the future. The Centre would, among other things, deal with one of the key issues for Montenegrin cinematography. This being, why isn’t Montenegro yet a member of important European, not to mention world, movie funds? According to this year’s budget plan, the Ministry of Culture has been awarded 6.79 million euros, which is almost 700,000.00 euros more compared to the previous year. The tenders for co-financing of culture projects are still ongoing (of course, without the possibility of participation of the civil sector). In the civil sector, there appeared several significant organizations dealing with culture, in the last ten years. Many of them, that used to be institutions of the state importance, have been converted into NGO organizations. They still cannot apply for tenders of the Line Ministry, thus significantly disabling the functioning of a great number of associations of artists, publishers, musicians and theatre workers. The hope remains that the forthcoming decades will make Montenegro more open and better for people who love arts and who create works of art because, at the end of the day, what remains as a testimony of a period is what artists leave behind them, and this is the evidence that a country has ever existed and meant something in its epoch. 90
