Good news always goes together: The Forum of Slavic Cultures (FSK) and European Museum Academy (EMA) nominated the Open air museum Old Village in Sirogojno for prestigious “Živa” Award for the best Slavic museum. The news has just been received from Dr Andrea Rihter, the president of Forum of Slavic Cultures. This renowned competition where the museums representatives of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Bulgaria are taking part, will be held in Slovenia, Bled, September 20-24 when the winners would be officially announced.
