Macedonian Opera and Ballet (MOB) and the Belgrade National Theatre signed Friday a cooperation agreement, including exchange of soloists, conductors, set designs and costumes, along with tours of both ensembles.

"After a multi decade-long cooperation, we decided to sign this agreement, which has been made official", said MOB director Oliver Arsovski at today's press conference.

Belgrade National Theatre manager Bozidar Djurovic said the agreement represented the start of a new, improved cooperation stage, bringing joy not only to artists but also audiences.
