Meeting on the occasion of Berliner Ensemble’s guest appearance in Sarajevo as part of Sarajevo Fest 2026.

On the initiative of the Federal Minister of Culture and Sports, Sanja Vlaisavljević, a meeting was held in the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports on cooperation between the Embassy of the Republic of Germany, the East West Center and the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports for joint cooperation.

Considering the importance of presenting one of the most important European theaters to the Bosnian audience, Federal Minister of Culture and Sports Sanja Vlaisavljević spoke with Haris Pašović, director and artistic director of the international festival Sarajevo Fest, and Renata Rat, head of the Department for Public Relations, Culture and Protocol of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bearing in mind the complexity of realizing cultural events that connect two countries and require significant financial resources, the interlocutors agreed on the necessity of synergistic action that includes all levels of administration, but also the economy as an extremely successful segment of cooperation between the two countries.

Today’s meeting is the beginning of joint action, and the next meeting has been arranged, where it will be possible to talk about concrete data regarding the realization of this extraordinary cultural event that brings Bosnia and Herzegovina closer to the European path.
