I would like to thank you for the kind invitation to the closing program of the “Days of Matica Hrvatska” manifestation in Sarajevo.

Tonight’s concert of the choirs of Sarajevo high schools and the gathering of high school students is a beautiful example of youthful energy, joy and togetherness through culture. I am sure that this closing program will bring special warmth and leave a precious mark in the memories of all participants.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations on the successful organization of the entire “Days of Matica Hrvatska” manifestation, which has significantly contributed to the enrichment of the cultural life of the city and confirmed the importance of cultural cooperation and togetherness. May this event be an incentive for further projects that will continue to strengthen cultural heritage and connect people.
