Minister Vlaisavljević’s congratulatory note to the Academy of Performing Arts of the University of Sarajevo

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
Esteemed professors, students and friends of the Academy of Performing Arts,

It is with sincere pleasure that I extend my congratulations on the occasion of the celebration of the Day of the Academy of Performing Arts and the 44th anniversary of its founding – almost half a century of dedicated work, artistic creation and shaping generations that have significantly marked the theater, film and television scene of our country.

Since its foundation, the Academy of Performing Arts has been and remains a nursery of talent, a space of freedom, research and creative risk, a place where artistic courage is nurtured and standards that shape the identity of contemporary artistic production are developed. Thanks to its professors, students and associates, this institution has grown into one of the most important pillars of our cultural life.

I congratulate you on the perseverance, vision and dedication that you continuously invest in the education of new artistic generations. May this anniversary remind you of the wealth of achievements behind you and be an incentive for new successes, projects and international cooperation.

I send you my warmest congratulations and best wishes for further development and artistic progress!
