Trumpeters quietly play an old, good folk song. They call for a word, near the Monument to the Trumpeter, in the center of Guča, in the heart of Dragačevo. Guests, parliamentarians, hosts are coming.

The center of the town is crowded and everyone is breathing as one – we haven’t gathered for a long time, in Guca.

Along with the sounds of the parliamentary anthem Sa Ovčara and Kablar, the prangija, the parliamentary flag was raised by the host of this year’s parliament. There is also Dejan Petrović, the music editor of this year’s festival, but above all a great artist and trumpet master, whose love for this instrument grew and developed in Guca.

“It is a great honor for me to be here among my family, but I also feel a great responsibility towards my father and grandfather, from whom I learned everything. This is Guca, this is Serbia, “Petrovic said.

There was something for fans of the good written word. The Book Fair has opened. For art connoisseurs and art lovers, art exhibitions are also open at the Trumpet Museum.

And that the Dragačevo Trumpet Festival has a future, and that it still has many decades of successful holding and gathering ahead of it, is also shown by the competition of youth orchestras. We got the best in this category:

Third Trumpeter – Mladjan Krstic from the Mladjan Krstic Orchestra, Zaguzanje

The second trumpet player – Stefan Mladenović from the orchestra of Stefan Mladenović, Požega

The first trumpet player is Aleksandar Ilić from the orchestra of Aleksandar Ilić, Stubal.

The third is the orchestra of Miroslav Đunisijević, Arilje

Second, Braće Ilić Orchestra, Čestobrodica

The first, the orchestra of Stefan Mladenović, Požega.

A round was played, the real, folk! The concert spectacle was held by the Ensemble of Folk Dances and Songs of Kosovo and Metohija “Venac” from Gracanica.

The spectacle of Daniel’s trumpet interspersed with the sounds of violin and flute

The concert of the trumpet orchestra of Danijela Veselinović, accompanied by Jelena Urošević (violin) and Neda Nikolić (flute), ended the program on the stage of the Cultural Center, the first, very successful, parliamentary day.

How good her trumpet sounds was also shown by the present members of parliament, who returned her to the encore twice, shouting: “More!”

This year, the organizers decided that only the best sound of the trumpet and the masters of their “craft” deserve a place at the Dragačevo Trumpet Festival, and Daniela certainly did.

Concert contents started on the main stage

On the main stage at the stadium, the concert was held by the winners of the 59th Dragačevo Trumpet Festival: Timočki veseljaci, Elvis Bajramović and Siniša Stanković. Immediately after them, Dejan Petrović played with his Big Band, great as always, a real “Dragačevac” on the trumpet.

The trumpet playing in Guca was prepared by trumpet orchestras, finalists of the 60th Dragačevo Trumpet Festival as part of the Midnight Concert. They will fight for the prestigious parliamentary awards at the final competition of trumpet orchestras on Sunday, the third parliamentary day at 3 pm, on the main stage at the stadium.

Program of the second assembly day

That trumpet, Dragačevo, is strange, its sound has magical power. He invites to the trumpet word on the second day of the assembly, when more good music, folk songs and games and concert contents await us.

At exactly seven o’clock, the famous saboteurs will be awakened by the famous, traditional trumpet alarm clock. The ceremonial parliamentary parade of participants through the streets of Guca is scheduled for noon. Within the “People’s All-Around”, the strongest will compete in four disciplines: high jump from the place, long jump from the place, throwing a stone from the shoulder and shooting an apple through the ring.

The best toastmasters will compete in saying the parliamentary and traditional toast, and the most beautiful folk costume, men’s and women’s, will be proclaimed at this year’s Parliament.

The Academic Cultural and Artistic Association “Ivo Lola Ribar” from Belgrade will present a set of games, and then the guests from the Czech Republic, HarMàlek Orchestr, will organize a concert for the members of parliament.

On the main stage at the stadium, from 9 pm, the RTS choir and symphony orchestra under the direction of Bojan Sudjić will have a concert. Afterwards, Ambassador Guca, trumpet master Boban Markovic and his son Marko will play.

At the end of the second day of the assembly, the trumpets of Dragačevo, local orchestras of Dragan Pavlović and Marko Trnavac will be heard.

The footage showed Kim Reisner leaning over a fence to hit a horse, which refused to jump over obstacles.

The move cost competitor Anika Shloy the opportunity to win a gold medal, the AP reported.

The International Organization of Modern Pentathlon stated that it reviewed the video in which “it seems that Reisner is hitting a horse with a fist”, as well as that her action is “contrary to the rules”.

It is also heard on the recording that Reisner calls on Shloyev to hit the horse harder, adds the AP.

Suspension for Reisner applies only to the rest of the Olympic Games, which end on August 8.

Anika Shloy was also the subject of condemnation on social networks because, according to critics, she often used a whip.

Competitors in modern pentathlon ride horses they have never encountered before, and establishing trust with an animal in a short time is considered part of the competitive challenge.

German officials have previously said that the rules in that sport should be changed.

Unable to be present at the handover ceremony of the state flag by the President of the Republic of Kosovo, Mrs. Vjosa Osmani, to the Olympic team that will represent the Republic of Kosovo in the Olympic Games, Tokyo 2020, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, addressed the athletes through a message.

Prime Minister Kurti told the Kosovo team that the responsibility they carry with them in Tokyo is very great, because they will face countries hundreds of times larger than Kosovo and a much longer tradition in sports.

According to legend, the Titans, who were the old gods, fought with the new gods – the Olympians. “In that war, which took place to gain control of the world, the young people won – the Olympians”, said Prime Minister Kurti in the video message sent from Athens to Greece, where he is paying an official visit.

He told the athletes that the results so far make us all proud and despite the fact that it will be only our second participation in an Olympics, you have enabled us to believe even more in your performances.

Thanking them for their contribution and wishing success to everyone, Prime Minister Kurti told the representative team that although he will not be physically able to be with them in Tokyo, he and the whole of Kosovo will be close to them.

Honorable President Mrs. Vjosa Osmani,

Honorable ministers of our government,

Dear athletes, coaches and sports workers,

Unable to be there with you today, I am addressing you from the country of origin of the ancient Olympic Games and host of the modern Olympic Games – from Greece, from Athens.

I am here for two international conferences and a series of official meetings.

Dear athletes and coaches,

Today we are celebrating your passion, work and sacrifice for representing Kosovo in sports. I have met some of you personally and your dedication to work is an example outside of sports.

It is not just your ability or talent in sports that should inspire us all – it is the extraordinary commitment and dedication, the efforts you make day by day to win.

Today, you will receive the flag of the state with which you will represent Kosovo in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The results you have achieved so far, make each of us proud, and despite the fact that we are marking only the second participation in the Olympics, you have enable us to believe even more in your performances.

The responsibility you carry with you in Tokyo is enormous. You will represent every citizen of Kosovo in front of countries hundreds of times bigger than Kosovo and with a much longer tradition in sports.

In Greek mythology, Mount Olympus was considered the home of the gods, created by the Olympic gods themselves. According to legend, the Titans, who were the old gods, fought with the new gods – the Olympians. In that war, which took place to gain control of the world, the young – the Olympians – won.

Likewise, we, too, marked our history with the gold medal of judo in Rio 2016 and showed the readiness and commitment we have in the sport. Therefore, it is not the participation in the Olympic Games that we are celebrating today, but it is your victory in which we all hope.

Although I will not be present in Tokyo to support you closely, allow me to thank you on behalf of every citizen of Kosovo for the effort you have made and the contribution you have made.

And to tell you that all of Kosovo will be behind you, following you through television and supporting you from afar, but wholeheartedly.

Many successes to each of you. Thank you. /Zeri.info
