It has not yet been decided how the 50.000 BAM planned for the organization of the celebration will be spent. This decision should be made at the next session of the City Council.
As agreed at the session, the City, in cooperation with the Canton Sarajevo (CS) Tourist Board, will participate in creating an event that will revive the New Year’s spirit.
