- The festival is included in the 2026 City of Banja Luka Calendar of Cultural Events and I believe that the audience at Kastel enjoyed the beauty and magic of folk dance \u2013 said Danijela Kajkut, authorized signatory at the Social Activities Department, who attended this event on behalf of the City.<\/p>\n
