Promotion of the book “Forbidden without a ban” by Milan Nikodijević

The promotion of the book “Forbidden without a ban” by Milan Nikodijević (published by the Film Center Serbia) will be held on Tuesday, July 5, at 7 p. m. in the Artget Gallery of the The Cultural Centre of Belgrade.

With his previous work, the author has already made a visible contribution to the elucidation of this almost taboo topic, doing it expertly and confidently, not to mention courage, in his radio shows, and especially at the Film Screenplay Festival in Vrnjačka Banja.
