"The Government of Tuzla Canton recognized the importance of this event and supported its organization because Kids Fest promotes some of the postulates of a democratic society such as social inclusion,
cultural diversity, openness, pluralism, and this is further supported by the fact that Kids Fest was also supported this year by the United Nations with the 'Dialogue for the Future' platform," said
Vojinović.

The organizers of Kids Fest, Jasmin Osmanović, Enes Hadžiskakić, and Amela Galešić, also addressed the attendees, thanking everyone for their trust and support. The organizers stated that
children send positive impressions, photos, experiences, and requests daily for Kids Fest to be organized in the coming years, which provides additional enthusiasm to continue working on this project.
