Culture Minister Zdrojewski

Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Culture Minister Bogdan signed a ‘Culture Pact’ on Saturday, which guarantees spending of at least one percent of the government’s budget on cultural projects.

 

“As someone responsible for the national budget and taxpayers’ money I must say that we are starting to understand that it’s worth investing in culture as an end in itself - but also that culture is a profitable business for the state, nation and citizens,” PM Tusk said.

 

The signing ceremony took place at the Congress of Citizens of Culture in Warsaw and was attended by leading members of cultural sector. (ek)
