Editing Project Rastko (section)

==Project==
The project was established in 1997 as a part of a pan-regional Balkans Cultural Network Initiative {{Fact|date=November 2007}}. Its main activities are:
* [[electronic publishing]] in the fields of [[Serbia]]n and Serbian-related arts and humanities
* scientific and cultural conferences and studies about [[Balkan]] cultural-civilizational integration {{Fact|date=November 2007}}
* bilateral and multilateral activities with other Balkan and world countries
* establishing regional centres
* technical training

The apex of the project is its [[digital library|electronic library]] with more than half a [[gigabyte]] of material, comprising [[e-book|electronic books]] and [[essay |articles]], [[photograph]]s and [[comic strip| comic]]s. Although most texts are [[Serbian language|Serbian]], there is a body of material in other languages, again mostly in [[English language|English]] and [[Russian language|Russian]], but also in [[French language|French]], [[German language|German]], [[Spanish language |Spanish]], and other languages. 

The library contains material in both the [[public domain]] and [[copyright]]ed texts published with the authors' permissions{{Fact|date=November 2007}}, dating from earliest [[medieval]] Serb texts to contemporary [[science fiction]]. The site of the project also hosts several sites not directly related to the project.

Project Rastko also hosts the European version of [[Distributed Proofreaders]], which intends to supply [[Project Gutenberg]] with public domain texts in European languages. Project Rastko is organising a coalition of European e-libraries for the purpose of collecting public domain works, aiming to eventually have a node of Distributed Proofreaders in each European country.
