Every year in March, the Month of Francophonie is celebrated throughout Serbia.
Francophonie represents a large community united by a single language and built around shared values such as multilingualism, cultural diversity, peace, democracy, human rights, education, professional development and economic cooperation. The Group of Francophone Ambassadors in Serbia, active since 2018 and bringing together more than 20 diplomatic missions including embassies and international organisations, plays a key role in organising the many events taking place during this Francophone spring, imbued with the French language.
Highlights from the programme
Free Zone – Beckett’s War Years through the Lens of Photographer Nigel Swan
An exhibition by Irish photographer Nigel Swan will be held from 12 to 21 March 2026 at the French Institute in Belgrade. The exhibition opening is scheduled for Thursday, 12 March at 2 pm, according to the statement. In the exhibition, photographer Nigel Swan, originally from Portadown, explores this isolated region, rich in spectral memories and invisible traces, through a series of landscapes resonating with history.
