Yesterday, the President of the Provincial Government, Igor Mirović, officially opened the new premises of this institution by symbolically unveiling a board at the entrance to the new building of the Institute for the Culture of Ruthenians in Vojvodina.
The ceremony was attended by the Provincial Secretary for Culture and Information Dragana Milošević, representatives of other national minorities, other institutes for culture, employees and journalists.
The President of the Provincial Government, Igor Mirović, pointed out that the building is the foundation of the national being because it combines the entire wealth of heritage, tradition and culture of a nation. In this home, contemporary Ruthenian creators, members of the National Council, cultural workers, as well as everyone else, will preserve and nurture culture and language, and this will make it more visible and recognizable to the general public, Mirović said.
The president of the National Council of Rusyns, Joakim Rac, said that today’s day in the history of Rusyns will be marked with golden letters. This long-term project was completed thanks to the support of the Province, as well as the relevant Secretariat, and the facility is located in the right place, in the old part of Novi Sad.
