Beograd, sa svojimvlastitimkeltskim korenima, prigrlio je irsku kulturu i ponovo učvrstio veze između dalekihseverozapadnih i jugoistočnih kvadranata Evrope. Stoga nam je velika čast i zadovoljstvo što čitavu deceniju slavimo irsku kulturu svojim fascinantnim programom – naglašava Kaminski.

Belgrade, with its own Celtic roots, has embraced Irish culture andagain strengthened the ties between Europe’s far north-western and south-eastern quadrants. “That’s why it’s a great honour and pleasure for us that we’ve spent an entire decade celebrating Irish culture with our fascinating programme,” stresses Kaminski. As a prelude to this year's programme, 1st March sees the opening of the photography exhibition “Rebel Song: Faces of Irish Music” on the open-air space of the Savamala Promenade, featuring works by famousmusic photographer Andrew Catlin. Inhis eponymous book, Catlin published images of Ireland’s most renowned musicians: Bono, Sinéad O'Connor, Bob Geldof, Rory Gallagher et al. Renowned Irish artist, muralist and illustrator Holly Pereira will begin creating a largemural on 7th March at 16 Maršala Birjuzova Street, withwhich she will pay tribute to all women and their skills. Holly found inspiration for hermural in the traditional weaving of the Pirot rug. The official programme commences on 11th March, with a fantastic blend of films, good music and podiums – the central event is the concert of rock group Hothouse Flowers, which will be held on 18th March at the Bitefartcaffe. The “Irish Film Week” programme includes award-winning documentaries, while there will also be the famous “greening” of major landmarks, including Palace Albanija, AdaBridge,HotelMoskva, Branko's Bridge and the fountain on Slavija Square. When we add to this the traditional commemorating of St. Patrick'sDay, alongside rugbymatches between Ireland and England and Ireland and Scotland, a good time in the Irish style is guaranteed in Belgrade.
