In conditions of continuing pandemic, the government will allocate additional 15 million euros for culture, the chairman of the parliamentary committee on culture and media Vezhdi Rashidov has told bTV. The state is not just restaurants and theaters. We need to understand and realize that there is a serious danger and we basically need to keep people alive. There is no use of a rich but dead restaurateur, as it is better to be alive, but poorer, Rashidov added.

According to the sculptor, it is a mistake that so far the Ministry of Culture has not fined protesters against the government who threw eggs at buildings that are monuments of culture. But unfortunately, out of fear, the institutions did not do their job, Rashidov says.
