– In Salzburg, the city of music, we were guests of the Institute of the Regions of Europe, where we presented the history of Tamburica Fest and this year’s event, which will be held from 18 to 21 August in the center of Novi Sad, to the Secretary General Dr. Joachim Florian Fritz and Prof. Dr. Franz Schausberger – says Dr. Jovan Pejčić, director of the Festival, who was accompanied by members of the organizational team of “Tamburica”, Jovana Carić, Branko Uvodić and Zoran Šijaković.

,, Tamburitza Fest” will maybe also participate.

Mr. Pejčić points out that the hosts were delighted with the presentation, which received a round of applause, and they put a special emphasis on nurturing the tradition.
