The Mostar Jazz Fest took place in Mostar from August 23 to 25, 2026, organized by the “Unisono” Association from Mostar. It featured a rich and extensive artistic program—including instrumental workshops—designed to foster the development of the local jazz scene (Mostar Jazz Edu & Science 2026).

The Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports once again provided invaluable support to the festival, ensuring its execution at an exceptionally high organizational and artistic standard. The words of appreciation addressed to Minister Vlaisavljević by the festival’s Artistic Director confirm this:

“Realizing the festival at this level would not have been possible without the support of the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports, which recognized its significance for the cultural life of Mostar, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole. I would particularly like to highlight that this Ministry is one of the few whose staff provides organizers with concrete and sincere support throughout every phase of the project’s implementation. We therefore sincerely thank you for the trust placed in us and for the support we have received, and we hope you view the success of the realized program as a success for the Ministry you lead.”
