On May 25, 2022, Ambassador Kovac visited one of the largest private cultural institutions in Japan - Min-on Concert Association, where she talked with Kazuto Ito, President of the Association, about opportunities for cooperation and promotion of Serbian music culture and tradition. This well-known and influential institution, founded in 1963, has so far represented over 100 countries in Japan as part of a diverse music and dance program. Ambassador Kovac presented the history of relations between Serbia and Japan and pointed out the importance of cultural exchange for strengthening bilateral relations, especially in the year when we are celebrating the 140th anniversary of friendship. She pointed out that “kolo” and “gusle” were inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, but also pointed out other contemporary forms of musical expression in Serbia and the rich music scene. It was agreed to continue close contacts regarding possible projects.
