GOLUBOVIĆ: SLAĐANA ZRNIĆ'S SUCCESS IN MOSCOW A SOURCE OF PRIDE FOR REPUBLIKA SRPSKA'S CULTURE

BANJA LUKA, NOVEMBER 13 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska Minister of Education and Culture Borivoje Golubović congratulated actress Slađana Zrnić on winning the prestigious Eurasian film award Diamond Butterfly for Best Supporting Actress in the film Hand of Justice, saying that her success in Moscow was a moment of great pride for Republika Srpska, its culture and the entire domestic arts scene.

Golubović stressed that the award was recognition of Slađana Zrnić's outstanding acting talent, dedication, and strength of artistic expression, while also representing an important international affirmation for Republika Srpska. "Your success in Moscow represents much more than a major artistic accolade. It is a testament to your outstanding acting talent, dedication, and strength of artistic expression, and a moment of genuine pride for Republika Srpska," Golubović said in his congratulatory message. He added that he was particularly proud that Zrnić's talent had been recognised and rewarded on the international stage, thereby showcasing the culture and arts of Republika Srpska in the best possible way. "Your award is particularly gratifying because the film Hand of Justice is part of the domestic film production industry, whose development Republika Srpska continuously supports through the Audiovisual Centre. This is strong confirmation that continued support for domestic filmmaking is justified and that investment in the development of the local film industry is important," Golubović said. He thanked Zrnić for representing Republika Srpska with distinction through her artistic achievements and for writing new chapters in its cultural recognition through her success. "Your award is a source of joy and pride for all of us, and your success sends a powerful message that our culture has a future, strength and artistic achievements we can be proud of," Golubović said. He wished Zrnić many major roles, artistic accomplishments and international accolades, and continued success in the years ahead. Slađana Zrnić won the prestigious Eurasian film award, the Golden Butterfly, in Moscow last night for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the historical spy thriller The Hand of Justice, which was co-financed with funds from the Republika Srpska Audiovisual Center as a minority co-production.
