| Title | The Regulatory Frameworks For Cinema Industries in the European Union and Serbia: The Role and Impact of Cultural Test |
| Summary | To support its cinema industry and attract foreign producers, Serbia has recently passed a new film incentive provision for foreign feature films. However, Serbian provision does not require films to pass a cultural test, which is an obligatory demand in the European Union for all films applying for the state aid. As Serbia has recently entered the EU accession period that serves for further complying with the EU laws and standards, Serbian cinema regulatory framework alongside mentioned provision will have to be adapted by the end of this period. The thesis addressed the issue of the lack of a cultural test and identified that its main consequences are missing international promotion of Serbian culture. Serbia also fails to use accession period to design the test so it can best meet country’s interests. It was, however, revealed that problems go far beyond this, and that the broader regulatory framework for the sector is in need for urgent specific improvements. A set of practical and customised policy recommendations is being offered, inevitably placing the need for cultural test in a broader context of the regulatory framework. The recommendations are designed upon critical comparison of the EU and Serbian legal frameworks, as well as the analysis of the European cultural tests. |
