Culture is the essence of the progress of a society, and we are at this level because, unfortunately, our attitude towards culture is at an unsatisfactory level, said the leader of the European Union list in the upcoming local elections in Podgorica, Boris Mugoša, on the panel "What culture needs in Podgorica".
As announced by the European Union, Mugoša gathered relevant figures from the field of culture, friends and fellow citizens who create in Podgorica at this, as described, non-partisan forum held in Njegošev Park.
"At this moment, making a non-partisan mini-tribune like this in culture is a big challenge. I will try to get out of the political matrices, and not at any moment think that we are in any kind of campaign, barefoot in a culture affirmation campaign, which in my opinion is in my opinion, the essence of a society's progress. We are at this level because, unfortunately, our attitude towards culture is at an unsatisfactory level," said Mugoša.
He emphasized that it is necessary to listen to the profession and that he gathered his friends because it seems to him that the decision-makers listen to the profession less and less and think more and more that they understand each other about some things that they do not.
