The event has been presented at a press conference by Nana Kusturica, Festival Director, Dejan Sparavalo, Director of Competition Selection, and Denis Korepanov from NIS. In addition to the competition selection, this year's festival will feature performances by the contemporary music scene masters Yuri Rozum, a Russian pianist, and Nemanja Radulović, Serbian violinist. As in the previous years, a performance by No Smoking Orchestra will close the festival. As the general sponsor of the festival, Gazprom Neft has supported young music talents from Serbia and the Republic of Srpska and this year also from Russia and helped strengthen traditional friendly and cultural relations between Serbia and Russia.
