The world renowned film director Emir Kusturica is to start erection of the Russian Village this year. It will be presented by the great artist to the Republic of Srpska, but also his contribution to multiculturalism in the entire region. The reconstructed Russian Village will stretch over three and a half hectares. Conceptual solution for this project is completed, land acquisition is underway, and construction is to follow…
This involves partnership of two companies: one is owned by Emir Kusturica, with 51% participation, and the second one belongs to the former Russian general Alan Glazov, who is today a successful businessman in Moscow. The Village will be constructed at 1.600 m above the sea level on the mountain Trebević, wherefrom one can see Emir Kusturica’s birthplace – Sarajevo. The Russian Village will certainly enrich the Sarajevo surroundings.
