The cultural heritage of Podgorica is not adequately protected, while the cultural resources of the city are not used to a sufficient extent, including for the needs of tourism. The archeological site of Duklja is in extremely bad condition, although it should be one of the trademarks of Podgorica, announced Ivan Jokanović, a candidate for councilor on the "Preoket - Ovako više ne moje - Srđan Perić" list.
He said that cultural institutions in the Capital City are not connected with cultural institutions at the state level, which, he states, results in a lack of coordination, uncoordinated activities and a lack of joint projects, "which must be changed in such a way that the Capital City provides adequate and timely financial support to the institutions culture and cultural manifestations, so that the events and festivals would turn into traditional gatherings and thus additionally contribute not only to the cultural but also to the tourist content of Podgorica".
"The creative sector is also neglected, so many creators and artists do not have adequate conditions for development and creativity. Podgorica should be the cultural center of the country, where culture will be the engine of the city's development. For this, greater material investments by the Capital City, active promotion are necessary. and protection of cultural heritage and encouragement of intersectoral, interinstitutional and international cooperation in the field of culture," said Jokanović.
"It is urgent that the capital city does everything in order to open the Museum of Stare Podgorica in the city center. In addition, it is necessary to provide a permanent exhibition space in the city center for creative artists, fine artists, sculptors and craftsmen in order to promote and place their works. just these two measures, Podgorica would open up to young domestic and foreign artists, and in this way an initial impulse for international cooperation in the creative domain would be created character and thereby additionally contribute to the recognizability of the Capital City," concludes Jokanović.
