Recent literary events in Budva and Subotica have highlighted the works of significant regional authors. In Budva, Montenegro, a literary evening was held in the Old Town in front of the Citadel to present the book ‘Majko, pusti me da idem’ by Serbian writer and translator Igor Marojević. The discussion, featuring Marojević and Živko Vlahović, explored themes of individual dilemmas and complex human relationships.
