Description of the policy/measure
Due to the covid-19 pandemic, which especially disrupted the traditional international cultural exchange, the ministry of culture and information, i.e. the sector for international cooperation and european integration in the field of culture, established a new line within the call for co-financing the mobility of artists and cultural and art professionals. this line enables the coverage of certain costs related to the production and preparation of artistic works intended for the participation of artists from serbia in international online festivals, professional gatherings, galleries/exhibitions, and other types of online presentations abroad. the ministry of culture and information recognized this need and responded by creating a new line in order to alleviate the difficulties of artists during the pandemic. as in the case of other call lines for co-financing projects in the field of mobility of artists and cultural and art professionals, the task of evaluation and selection is entrusted to a professional commission formed by the ministry of culture and information. the commission proceeds in accordance with the regulation on the criteria, standards, and selection of projects in culture financed and co-financed from the budget of the republic of serbia, or autonomous province and local self-government units (official gazette of rs, issue 105/2016).
