With a spectacular organization, traditionally a warm welcome to several thousand guests, Komovi Nature Park LLC and the locals of Japan marked the 3rd Days of srijemushe and traditional cuisine.

First place was won by the village of Japan.

At the very entrance of Hostel Mojan, the center of events, the Vasojević women in national costume welcomed the guests with ice cream and honey, and the Vasojević women with the famous homemade plum wine.

And at the fantastically decorated stands, visitors could enjoy fantastically delicious food, the smell of meadow flowers...

"You can't share like that, you have to wait for the jury," warned professor Manojlo Vojvodić, the initiator of the event, in vain.

But the proverbial unsurpassed hospitality in this area is stronger than the potential award, the five-member expert jury and the Association of Montenegrin Chefs.

"Well, whoever comes should take what he likes and what he likes. It is out of the question for me to deny anyone a bite of bread," Jelica Pešić resolutely defended the ancestral vow at her stand.

"The locals of the local MZ worked tirelessly from idea to realization. With them, the initiator, Professor Manojllo Vojvodić and the Association of Chefs of Kitchens of Montenegro. With the support of the municipality of Andrijevica and competent institutions, this beauty should be heard far and wide. That is the goal of the event," she said. is the director of Komovi Nature Park DOO, Ivana Jukić.

Srijemuš, sremuš or wild garlic, decades ago was the reason for numerous camps, mostly Czech tourists, next to the Mojanska River, which the locals call Perućac because of the purity and first-class quality of the water. It is now a stream because the stream has been "attacked" by pipes for hydroelectric power stations of privileged electricity producers.

The Podgorica grillman did not turn off the grill until the fire.
