"I am pleased that such events are well-attended. This is truly a beautiful event, especially since we have aligned it with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the inscription of the Old Bridge on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is particularly gratifying that the tradition, initiated by the Association of Artists 'Mostarska paleta,' has been successfully continued for the third consecutive year. This is a great success," Pezo emphasized.
