Russia will return the 166th Page of the Miroslav Gospel to Serbia, while Belgrade will bring painter Nikolai Roerich's pictures back to Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during his recent visit to Belgrade.
"The understanding on handing the 166th Page of the Miroslav Gospel, the most ancient Cyrillic monument of Serbian literacy, which is being stored in Russia, at the Russian National Library, over to Serbia, and on returning Nikolay Konstantinovich Roerich's pictures to Russia is remarkable for Russian-Serbian friendship," Putin said at a press conference following the talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
More than a thousand artifacts of Serbian cultural heritage are found in foreign public collections around the world, Serbian historian Dejan Ristic said at the press conference in the news agency Tanjug yesterday.
