This year's 14th Book and Education Fair is designed to meet the different reading affinities. The slogan of the manifestation is "Do not believe everything you read on the Internet".
At the fair, there are about 100 exhibitors, numerous publishing houses, and a large number of authors from the region.
"This fair has grown into the most visited cultural manifestation in Montenegro, which is visited by tens of thousands of visitors every year. It is not the popularity of the fair which is the main thing that rejoices us, it is the fact that today it has gained a wider regional reputation and has become an indispensable hub of cultural recognition of our country internationally," said Nikola Nikolic, Art Director of the fair.
Dragica Milic, Director of the Directorate at the Ministry of Culture pointed out that the Montenegrin rulers had a particular inclination to print books: "It was one of our specialities which many great cultures can envy us. In addition to the establishment of scripts and printing houses, Montenegrin rulers also wrote books, and we know that some of these works represent the world's literary treasury today."
At the 14th International Book Fair in Podgorica, the Art Museum of Montenegro presents the works of the great artists of Montenegrin fine arts who marked not only Montenegro's but also regional and European art with their works. These are the artists whose works make a valuable part of the collection of Montenegrin fine arts of the art museum but also of the overall cultural heritage of Montenegro.
"On this occasion, the museum decided to come out of the established framework of the presentation and show their works to an artistically compatible but in atypical exposure ambience, a book fair among readers," said Anastazija Miranovic, director of the National Museum of Montenegro.
Vladimir Tabasevic, the winner of the award NIN, opened the Podgorica Book Fair.
