Kultura really paid special attention to preserving our valuable cultural heritage in the past period. We will continue at the same rate in this 2013 year, within which the restored Clock-Towers in Prilep and Gostivar and many other projects will be promoted. In the past few years, the Ministry of Culture has also implemented capital projects in publishing, which are also of huge importance. You have promoted new books from the Translation of Books by Literature Nobel Prize Laureates Edition, and other 40 new books within the Stars of World Literature Edition. Another project, 130 Volumes of Macedonian Literature is also valuable. When do you expect for those projects to be completed and at what pace will the implementation take place? I am especially happy with the fact that in 2012, the publishing activity was evaluated positively by the Culture Council where we discussed the effects of the work done that far and the future developmental guidelines expected to improve the conditions in this area. Macedonia is one of rare countries which strongly support publishing. Besides the support for publishing companies as private legal entities through a competition we announce yearly, the Ministry of Culture also announces a special invitation for purchase of books, all with a view of buying what is significant as a literary stock and distributing it to the National Library and other libraries in Macedonia.
More than 390 publications and a number of magazines, monographs and other volumes have been supported in the past year. We have also implemented capital projects which I believe are of enormous importance for the Macedonian literary work, for enriching and upgrading the Macedonian language, as well as improving the translation, publishing, and proofreading professions. I will mention the 130 Volumes of Macedonian Literature Edition, publication that has enabled the world’s public to get familiar with our prolific literary work, which was published in Macedonian and English and distributed to more than 400 world's libraries, Currently, an anthological review of the 130 Volumes of Macedonian Literature is being worked on, and it will be translated in five more world’s languages and distributed to libraries worldwide. I will mention that the project, Translation of Literature Nobel Prize Laureates, which includes 106 books, has been completed and promoted. Owing to the Government’s support, we have updated the edition with 41 more books out of which 20 were promoted in December 2012, and the remaining 21 will be promoted in March, and the project will thus be completed. The capital edition Stars of World Literature is a project containing 560 volumes. It consists of classical works, best selling books, self-biographies of world’s famous
vredni dela. Stru~ni profesori koi predavaat na katedrite na Filozofskiot fakultet ja izgotvija proektnata programa, koja vo momentov se distribuira do golem broj svetski univerziteti preku na{ite amabasadi i konzulati, s¢ so cel da dobieme mislewe dali nekoj zna~aen naslov e izostaven vo nea. Otkako }e gi dobieme tie mislewa, }e ja objavime i javnata nabavka. Vo izdava~kata dejnost e napraveno mnogu i smetam deka realizacijata na site ovie proekti }e dade pozitiven impuls vo razvojot na ovaa dejnost kaj nas. Na me|unaroden plan u~estvoto na Republika Makedonija na kulturnata olimpijada vo London be{e nastan na godinata. Koi drugi aktivnosti od me|unarodnata promocija bi gi izdvoile? Vo izminatata godina imavme mnogu aktivnosti na me|unaroden plan. Od ogromna va`nost e {to Makedonija se pretstavi na Kulturnata olimpijada vo London, koja be{e prethodnica na Olimpiskite igri. Posebno }e go istaknam nastapot na bitolskiot teatar vo [ekspiroviot teatar „Gloub” so pretstavata Henri VI. Li~no prisustvuvav na ovaa pretstava i impresiite bea navistina emotivni. Znaeme {to zna~i teatarot „Gloub” i od kakva va`nost e tamu da ja prosledite pretstavata Henri VI na makedonski jazik. Makedonija vo London se pretstavi i preku koncertot na Simon Trp~eski so Londonskata filharmonija vo „Rojal festival hol”, izlo`bata „Made in Macedonia” na Muzejot na sovremenata umetnost, a vo Univerzitetskiot kolex vo London be{e promovirana i podarena i edicijata „130 toma makedonska kni`evnost na angliski jazik”. Va`en nastan za promocija na makedonskata kultura be{e i izlo`bata vo Muzejot vo Utreht koja be{e realizirana so poddr{ka na Ministerstvoto
za kultura i koja trae{e tri meseci. Za prv pat pred svetskata javnost, vo Utreht, be{e izlo`eno mnogu vredno kulturno nasledstvo: ikoni, zlaten nakit, crkovni predmeti i drugi vredni eksponati. Vo 2012-tata odli~no bevme pretstaveni i na Denovite na makedonskata kultura vo Ukraina, a u~estvuvame i vo Maribor, koj be{e evropska prestolnina na kulturata za 2012 godina. Od ogromna va`nost za kulturnata promocija na Makedonija be{e i izlo`bata na starite rakopisi vo Brisel, poto~no vo Kralskiot muzej vo Mariemont, kade {to ja prika`avme iljadagodi{nata pismena tradicija na makedonskata zemja. Bi gi spomenala i uspe{nite gostuvawa na na{ite teatri vo Polska, Italija, Albanija i vo Turcija, gostuvawata na MOB vo Turcija i vo Bosna, na Makedonskata filharmonija vo Oman, nastapite na „Tanec” vo Bugarija, Slova~ka, Slovenija, Hrvatska, Srbija i vo Bosna, proektite na na{ite renomirani umetnici koi se realiziraa vo Kulturno-informativnite centri vo Wujork i vo Sofija, prestojot na makedonskite reproduktivci vo Pariz. Vo Godi{nata programa na Ministerstvoto se poddr`aa i proekti na na{ite istaknati avtori, kako Nikola Maxirov, izlo`bata Pet kapki son na Mil~o Man~evski, pretstavuvawata na Interart i mnogu drugi. Intenzivnata me|unarodna sorabotka, se razbira, }e prodol`i i godinava, }e prodol`ime so u{te pointenzivna promocija na site institucii i poedinci i seto ona {to bitno vlijae na kulturnata promocija na dr`avata. Ministerke, neodamna bevte doma}in na ministerskata konferencija posvetena na muzeite vo Jugoisto~na Evropa. Pred ministrite za kultura i drugite gosti jasno potenciravte deka od osobeno zna~ewe e da se investira vo muzejskata dejnost. Donesovte li konkretni zaklu~oci?
