Kočićev zbor cultural festival

Overview

The 61st Kočićev zbor, a cultural festival honoring writer Petar Kočić, opened in Banja Luka with an inauguration at the National and University Library of Republika Srpska. During the opening, Prime Minister Savo Minić stated that Kočić’s works reflect the “desire for freedom inherent in the Serbian people.” The program included commemorative activities and wreath-laying ceremonies across several locations.

By the conclusion of the festival, the event held on Manjača saw a decrease in attendance compared to previous years. Observers noted a lack of high-profile political figures, such as Milorad Dodik, suggesting a shift from the festival’s traditional role as a political barometer prior to elections.
