The “mažoretkinja” parade is a long-standing tradition that takes place in Montenegro. It brings costumes, dances and tradition together in one coordinated walk. The parade started today from the “Reja” installation to the Castle of Tirana, attracting the attention of passers-by and the many tourists who are currently in Tirana.

Today, the exhibition with traditional Montenegrin costumes was opened and will remain open for visitors until July 14 at the Castle of Tirana. The exhibition will present the rich material and spiritual culture of the Montenegrin people.

The presentation of a collection of books in Albanian from the “Durde Crnojevic” National Library will also take place at the Tirana Castle. In the evenings, there will be screenings of Montenegrin cult films. On the 13th, the concert of a string quartet, part of the Montenegrin Symphony Orchestra, will be held at the Opera House Concert Hall.
