“I am particularly pleased by the great interest in this exhibition, which confirms the importance of culture in connecting our two countries. I believe that today’s gathering will serve as an impetus for new joint projects and the further strengthening of cooperation between Romanian and Bosnian-Herzegovinian institutions,” Vidačković noted.
