Banning president Jahjaga to enter the country is the consequence of political decisions made at the highest level. \u201cMir\u00ebdita, dobar dan!\u201d Festival has no possibility nor ambition to affect this decision. The goal of the Festival is to create a platform for establishing better relations between citizens of Kosovo and Serbia. Our message hasn\u2019t lost its importance due to bureaucratic and political battle between political leaderships. On contrary, the importance of the need for better and truthful cooperation has been additionally emphasized.<\/p>\n
\n
Political games, nationalistic threats and sensationalism related to Jahjaga\u2019s participation at the book promotion, are completely irrelevant for the Festival. We stay focused on the topic of the Festival \u2013 getting to know each other, building new ties between two societies and promoting a dialogue as a necessary condition for cooperation and sustainable peace . In this regard, we believe that today\u2019s topic is of enormous importance. The narrative that has been dominant in our societies for the past 25 years, which puts myths and hatred first, and victims in the last place, resulted in more than 100.000 victims. Our mission is to change that and to put focus on the victims.<\/p>\n
