Cultural Heritage Governance, Policies and Management in Serbia
Cultural Heritage Governance, Policies and Management in Serbia

Summary/Abstract: The article is set at the system of cultural heritage governance and management in Serbia, as a successor state of Yugoslavia, put to series of serious risks. These were not only economic downturn and public neglect, but also war and systematic destruction based on political and ethnocentric agenda. Since the beginning of the 2010s, the heritage community in Serbia was being given systematic public support in the form of finance, legislation and priority. The article tests the effect of these institutional changes in practice using indicators on the museum visits, scholarly and curatorial activity and concludes that the rise in the number of visitors in museums in Serbia is hampered by a low cultural participation of the population and, additionally, by the lack of sufficient curatorial activity.
