This theater awaits a long and successful future if it continues on the path it has taken - by promoting new domestic playwrights in the performance of big acting names with generations of younger actors who are just conquering the theater world," said Dušan Kovačević, director and founder of "Zvezdara Teatr" to the media on Wednesday .
