09 November 2018 - On November 9, during the visit to the Capital of Montenegro, Culture Minister Aleksandar Bogdanović and his associates visited the final works on the building where the three institutions from the sphere of culture are planned to be moved: the Music Centre, the Film Centre and the Montenegrin Cinematheque.
The first phase of the works, which included the building process and construction works, was completed in the previous period, while the second phase, which includes works on the interior, stage, audio and video technique, will be completed soon.
According to the Minister's earlier statement, the Music Center will include a large concert hall with seating capacity 440, a small concert hall with 190 seats and a symphony and folk orchestra rehearsal hall. For the needs of the Montenegrin Cinematheque, the project includes depots for archiving films and video materials as well as the projection room.
As announced in the official announcement of the Ministry, Bogdanović expressed his satisfaction with the work progress that has been achieved in recent months, as well as with the spatial resources that will satisfy not only European standards and needs but also the expectations of the mentioned cultural institutions. During the conversation with the contractors, he highlighted the importance of the opening of this facility as soon as possible and insisted on the additional intensification of the work dynamics, in order to make the facility operational by the end of the year 2018.
This investment worth 13,190,000 EUR is a proof of program policies implemented by the Government of Montenegro in order to provide adequate working conditions for cultural workers, thus obtaining the necessary prerequisites for achieving even greater cultural ranges, the Minister concluded after the visit.
