5th Traditional Costume Review “From the Sea to the Sava” Held in Mostar

On Saturday, 15 November 2025, the 5th Traditional Costume Review “From the Sea to the Sava” was held at the Queen Katarina Kosača Gallery in Mostar, organised by HKUD Sv. Ante-Cim Mostar and the association FRAMOST – Missions as Links of Heritage, People and Places.

First launched in 2019, the jubilee fifth edition once again confirmed the reputation of this manifestation, which connects regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina from South to North, from Neum to the Sava. This year, the audience had the opportunity to see new costumes from Western Herzegovina as well as rare pieces from the museum collections of the Franciscan Museum and Gallery Gorica–Livno and the Center for Intangible Cultural Heritage in Zagreb, with a special focus on festive attire and jewellery traditionally used for weddings.

The event was attended on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports by Anita Vlašić, Head of the Minister’s Office.

The Ministry will continue to support such valuable manifestations that preserve and promote cultural heritage, as they represent the foundation of identity and the strength of unity for future generations.
