The city of Trebinje is the first local community from the Republic of Srpska to be an official partner in the organization of the St. Sava Ball in Vienna. The St. Sava Ball, which traditionally brings together the Serbian community, as well as many figures from the Austrian political and business life, will be held on Friday, 6 February, at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna.<\/p>\n
For Trebinje, this is an opportunity to strengthen ties with the Serbian diaspora, but also to present the local community as a place pleasant for living and suitable for investment. \u2013 I believe that we are ready and that we have prepared what was realistically feasible. This is a great honor for Trebinje and I hope that we will use the opportunity to present well our potential and that we will have time to distribute leaflets and presents for those who attend \u2013 said the Mayor of Trebinje Mirko \u0106uri\u0107.<\/p>\n
Trebinje Tourism Organization, Herzegovina Museum, and Herzeg House will be presented in Vienna. All the best from southern Srpska will be presented. \u2013 At our stand, we will present our cultural and historical tourism potential, but also outdoor and cyclotourism, which is one of the fastest growing branches of tourism in the world. We are going at full capacity \u2013 said Jovica Milo\u0161evi\u0107 from the Tourism Organization of Trebinje.<\/p>\n
Veselin Dutina, Director of the Trebinje Agrarian Fund, says that their goal is to promote Herzegovinian products. \u2013 In December last year, we opened our first store in cooperation with the Austrian-Serbian Chamber of Commerce and the Republic of Srpska Representative Office in Vienna. Thus, we also promote Herzeg House, Herzegovinian products and producers \u2013 added Dutina.<\/p>\n
The Hofburg Palace will see a combination of tradition and modernity. Members of cultural and artistic societies from Trebinje will perform a medley of Serbian 19th century dance variants. They believe that they will present their city and the Republic of Srpska in the best light. \u2013 Over the weekend, we had a joint dress rehearsal. We are excited because in a few days we are traveling to Vienna. There we will present King\u2019s kolo, Queen Draga\u2019s kolo, Srpkinjica and the inevitable Serbian quadrille \u2013 says Tamara \u0160i\u0161i\u0107, member of the Alat Cultural and Artistic Society. Vienna is the only city in the world that has kept its ball season, which runs from November to February. After a 100-year break, in January 1998 the Serbian Ball was held again in Vienna, and since then it has been called the St. Sava Ball. It still bears that name today, and it was named after the first Serbian archbishop and educator \u2013 Saint Sava.<\/p>\n
