In the programme which lasted for an hour and a half the following choirs made their performances: Mixed Choir “Camerata Slovenica” of the Association of Slovenians from Sarajevo, Mixed Choir “Davorin Jenko” of the Association of Slovenians “Triglav” Banja Luka and an instrumental group with a vocal soloist Aleksandra Bilanović “Mladi Jenkovci” from the same association, and guests, fellow-countrymen from Slovenia, “Lovski pevski zbor” – “Hunters’ Choir” from Medvode. The choir from Sarajevo conducted by Melita Čičić sang three Slovenian folk songs accompanied by accordions. Thereupon, choir “Davorin Jenko” sang four Slovenian folk songs and a song “Zbog tebe” – “Because of you” by Merima Njegomir accompanied by instrumental group and the vocal soloist and conducted by Aleksandar Jeremić. Songs sang by members of “Hunter’s Choir” from Medvode, conducted by Janez Čadež, were divided into two parts. The first part was dedicated to songs by Slovenian authors, and the second part to songs by foreign authors (Jakob Petelin Gallus, Žarov, Marković, Mirk.....). It was with the song “Žabe” - “Frogs” by Vinko Vodopivec that they thrilled the audience. Applauding and joyful atmosphere was that strong that it gave the impression of a wedding, as the contents of the song was explained by the presenter Mr. Rudi Zevnik.
Song knows no borders. Song unites us. At the end of the show, all choirs sang together a song by Pevec-Anton Forster, conducted by Janez Čadež.
