On November 26, 2024, Cultural and Artistic Society “Gradimir” from Belgrade successfully showcased its tradition on an international stage as a guest of the “Abrašević” from Wettingen, Switzerland.

Around 50 of Gradimir’s members arrived in Zurich, where they were warmly welcomed from the Serbian Consulate General, led by Mihajlo Šaulić. The group toured the city and enjoyed an exciting boat ride on Lake Zurich, immersing themselves in the beauty of the city. After that, they had a joint rehearsal with other dancers, preparing for the upcoming folk dance competition.

A shared meal at Slavi Tomić’s restaurant brought the participants together, serving as a place to make new contacts. Nenad Milenković, the president of “Abrašević” , and the chairman at “The Association of Serbian Folklore of Switzerland”said:

“This event is proving that culture knows no borders - our mutual cooperation will remain a permanent connection between tradition and the talent of youth”.

With this trip, “Gradimir” once again affirms its commitment to preserving cultural heritage and fostering international exchange, inspiring future generations to nurture their tradition.
