Cultural developments in Croatia and Serbia have recently highlighted themes of artistic adaptation and urban preservation. In Croatia, director Ivica Buljan staged a theatrical adaptation of László Krasznahorkai’s novel ‘Hersch 07769’ as part of the Split Summer program, exploring themes of radicalization and social anxiety.

In Serbia, concerns have emerged regarding the urban identity of Valjevo. Residents and experts have noted that rapid modern investment and construction are encroaching upon the city’s historic center, leading to fears that the community’s architectural soul and collective memory may be erased.
