In April 2008, the Writers’ Society of the Republic of Srpska and the Association of Slovenians of the Republic of Srpska Triglav from Banja Luka published the book Kristalis, by Marjanca Kočevar. The book was written in two languages – Serbian and Slovenian, while the author herself took care of the translation into Serbian.
Presentation of the book in Novo Mesto took place on 9 May 2008 in the bookstore Goga. At the literary evening, our young members presented themselves – child choir Mladi Jenkovci and instrumental group Trio Fantastico, who once again fascinated the attendees and thus enriched this high-level literary event. Presentation of the book Kristalis will be organised in Banja Luka during this month. Marjanca Kočevar is a well-known Slovenian poet, who lives and works in Novo Mesto. The book Kristalis is her third poetry collection. First two collections Ki mimo greš and Pompeji were well accepted by the public. The poet is an active member of Društvo slovenackih pjesnika /Slovenian Poets Society/ and the Amnesty International.
