The Prime Minister of Vojvodina, Igor Mirovic, expressed his satisfaction to be a part of such a successful initiative that promotes the employment and creativity of women who are safeguarding our country’s cultural heritage. I want to thank the Deputy Prime Minister for her hard work in protecting womens rights. With this joint initiative, we are helping the development of local communities from Sombor to Pirot, and by using handicrafts as business gifts for foreign officials, we pass spiritual messages woven into these remarkable items,” Mirovic said.

Violeta Jovanovic pointed out that both Serbian and Vojvodinian Salons, decorated with kilims and embroidery by women across Serbia, send a clear message about the importance of preserving cultural heritage, multiculturalism, but above all the need to empower rural women economically. I’d like to thank our valued partners for their support. They are true ambassadors of our cultural heritage. We hope that other institutions will join and that these handicrafts will be found in our diplomatic missions and in down town Novi Sad as the European capital of culture,” Jovanovic said.
