Domestic Products and Cottage Industry Fair is being held in Lopare today as part of the Days of the Diaspora, with about 30 producers and associations from this local community exhibiting their products.<\/p>\n
In addition to Majevica brandy, this region has another branded and protected product. It is smoked Zarac cheese, the production of which started precisely on Majevica. Plans for more extensive production are underway, as this cheese is hard to find on the market.<\/p>\n
\u2013 It is no secret, it is difficult, it is a long and demanding process, it is much easier to make other types of cheese made in our area \u2013 says Du\u0161ka Mitrovi\u0107 from Lopare.<\/p>\n
In addition to gastronomic products, the exhibitors also presented their works of art. Snje\u017eana Andri\u0107 fulfilled her youthful wish to paint after she retired as a doctor.<\/p>\n
Snje\u017eana Andri\u0107 from Bijeljina says that her gymnasium days\u2019 wish was to paint.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Then I had too much free time when I retired, and I went out one morning and bought a canvas, oil paints and started painting \u2013 Andri\u0107 points out.<\/p>\n
Every third inhabitant of Lopare is abroad, most of them in Switzerland. Cooperation with the diaspora is excellent, they say in this municipality. The diaspora has so far invested in 12 projects in the metal and chemical industries, as well as in agriculture.<\/p>\n
\u2013 I think that over 60 percent of the funds in households here originate from the diaspora, because there is no house on Majevica that does not have someone abroad supporting the household budget by remittances \u2013 Rado Savi\u0107, the head of Lopare, points out.<\/p>\n
The municipal administration appealed to all Majevica residents in the diaspora to contact them in case of administrative problems. The Days of the Diaspora in Lopare will continue in the coming years, announced the local administration.<\/p>\n
