Traditionally, the cultural programme comprised performances of Slovenian choirs and folklore associations, operating outside the borders of Slovenia. Beside our choir “Davorin Jenko”, performances were given by folklore group “Lipa” from Munich, choir “Encijan” from Pula, choir of the Slovenian Association “France Prešeren” from Skopje, dancing group of the Association of Slovenians “Kredarica” from Novi Sad, and Martin Težak’s accordion players from Metlika.
Attendees and participants were greeted by the Mayor of Metlika and a deputy in the National Assembly Renata Brunskola, president of the Slovenian Emigrants’ Society Sergij Pelhan and Minister for Slovenians Abroad Boštjan Žekš.
