The jubilee 20th May Meetings were held tonight in Prijedor as part of the celebration of the Day of the National Library “Ćirilo i Metodije,” bringing together 15 young authors from Prijedor, Novi Grad, and Dvor.
Poet Anela Sejarić Vujinović, the creator of the event, said that this traditional event supports young people and their creativity.
“The main goal of this event is to animate and support young people to help them in their creative work. We want to be an imperative for their further work, to support and include them in all cultural programs, and to show them that books are not forgotten and that they are ahead of social networks,” Vujinović told reporters.
