Dear writers,

It is with great pleasure that I send my sincere congratulations on the occasion of the 41st Literary and Cultural Manifestation “Zija Dizdarević Encounters”, one of the most important literary fairs that has been preserving the memory of the life and work of this prominent writer for decades.

“Zija Dizdarević Encounters” represent an important meeting place for writers, cultural workers and lovers of literature and contribute to the preservation and promotion of literary heritage, while encouraging new generations of authors to creative work. This event confirms every year that literature remains a strong bridge of dialogue, understanding and shared values.

The Ministry of Culture is proud to support events that promote literary creativity and enrich the cultural identity of our communities. We are convinced that this year’s program, filled with quality content, will contribute to the further strengthening of the cultural scene and will leave a lasting mark among the participants and the audience.

I wish you a successful event, inspiring meetings and much success in your future work.
