“For about 15 years, I have been working on collecting archival material and authentic exhibits from that era. It is a great honor for me that we managed to organize this unique exhibition in Jahorina,” said Kardum.
He collected various objects and things that were part of the Winter Olympic Games ’84 organization in Sarajevo.
“There are complete uniforms that were used on the opening day of the Olympic Games, complete ski equipment. I bought 99 percent of the exhibits,” added Kardum.
The director of the Jahorina Olympic Center, Dejan Ljevnaic, said that we should continue to work on the promotion of love, reconciliation and respect.
From February 8th to 14th, 1984, Sarajevo was the center of the world, and the entire former Yugoslavia participated in the organization of the Olympic Games.
Companies from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), as well as the whole of Yugoslavia, were involved in the construction of the facilities. At the same time, each of the RTV companies from the republics of the former Yugoslavia, from Ljubljana to Skopje, had one arena that they covered, AA writes.
