Kultura sculpture of the founders of the theatre, made by our artist Karadare. The Theatre will be a museum in its own right. Our national institution, the Macedonian National Theatre, has worked intensively for a while on a play based on Jordan Plevneť’s text, which will formally open the theatre. You have drafted the National Strategy by 2017. This important paper prioritises clearly activities that will be implemented according to an adopted Action Plan. Which specific activities are facing us under this Strategy in the following period? In the past period, a lot of analyses we made showed that the previous National Programme for Culture did not have practical application whatsoever, there was no action plans and accurately defined goals and priorities along with activities that would improve the conditions in culture. That is why we made amendments to the Law on Culture with the purpose of adopting a new National Strategy for the Development of Culture within five years. The Draft-Strategy which we have made is based
on professional and scientific knowledge and corresponds to reform processes in culture in Europe. Its development involved employees of the Ministry of Culture, who have monitored the conditions in this area for years and have precisely located weaknesses in the accomplishment of culture in the Republic of Macedonia. Furthermore, the development of this most important strategy document in culture in Macedonia was also contributed by our institutions, artists, civil associations, experts in Macedonia and abroad, with whom we had a number of meetings, a lot of debate and public discussion. The Strategy was submitted for opinion to 150 entities in the area of culture, which joined the process of itemising all the activities that needed to be implemented in the future and would result in developmental movement of culture in the Republic of Macedonia. I really have to express my gratitude to the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, which was our constructive partner in the preparation of all segments of the Strategy. The new National Strategy offers a lot of efficient solutions, which are the results of weaknesses detected in culture such as, for example, establishment of an Institute

Navistina me raduva faktot {to ovoj mnogu posakuvan objekt od gra|anite e ve}e vo zavr{na faza i nastojuvame, dokolku ni dozvolat vremenskite uslovi, da go otvorime i da go promovirame na 27 mart, Svetskiot den na teatarot. Ve}e sme vo zavr{na faza i vo momentov se raboti na enteriernoto ureduvawe na objektot. Vo izminatiot period posvetivme mnogu vnimanie na ornamentikata koja }e bide postavena na lo`ite na glavnata teatarska sala. Ornamentikata be{e osmislena i izrabotena od stru~en tim koj be{e formiran od strana na Ministerstvoto i taa poteknuva od na{eto podnebje. Preku nea se prika`ani motivi od na{eto bogato kulturno nasledstvo, crkvi, manastiri, artefakti. Taka, teatarot osven onaa glavna funkcija, teatarskata dejnost, }e ima i muzejska funkcija. Site posetiteli, preku celokupnata ornamentika {to e zastapena vo enterierot, }e mo`at da se zapoznaat so makedonskata kultura i istorija.
Paralelno, na{i vrvni umetnici go slikaat tavanot na glavnata scena na koj }e bidat ilustrirani na{i makedonski motivi. Na gornata povr{ina na pokrivot od teatarot se postaveni 45 skulpturi koi bile obele`je i na Stariot teatar. Vo vleznata partija na glavnoto foaje na teatarot }e bide postavena i centralna kompozicija - skulptura na osnova~ite na teatarot, {to ja izrabotuva umetnikot Karadare. Teatarot }e bide muzej sam za sebe. Na{ata nacionalna ustanova, Makedonskiot naroden teatar, ve}e intenzivno raboti na premiernata pretstava, po tekst na Jordan Plevne{, so koja sve~eno }e bide otvoren teatarot. Izrabotivte i Nacionalna strategija za periodot do 2017 godina. Vo ovoj zna~aen dokument se odredeni jasni prioriteti koi }e se realiziraat spored donesen akciski plan.
