The concert of the legendary band "Heavy Industry" concluded the Easter Bazaar, which opened on April 15th at Nikšić's Freedom Square under the title "The Light of Christ's Resurrection".
During the bazaar, more than ten cultural and entertainment events were organized, both for the youngest citizens and for adults.
On the last day of the bazaar, in addition to the concert of the aforementioned rock band from Sarajevo, a party for the youngest was organized, a performance by DJ Tiffany, as well as a fair of domestic flavors "From Wine to Chocolate", which unfortunately brought together only a small number of producers.
The taste of chocolate was "defended" by Aneta Božović from Gornje Polje, near Nikšić, who, with her husband Zoran, started making chocolate in different flavors five years ago, and their chocolates "Aneta" and "Ojha" have already found their place among numerous gourmets in the country and abroad.
"Despite the health problems I've had recently, I went to my center, because my grandchildren say this is Grandma's center. People love local products, and they also like to take them somewhere, so we mostly have customers who like to take something authentic from Montenegro," said Božović, without whose chocolates, fairs are unthinkable both in the town under Trebjes and in other cities in Montenegro.
"I'm from Draževina. Our grapes have always grown well and we made brandy and wine, and we also had tobacco. I was a carpenter, but then I had to leave that for health reasons and then I decided to pursue beekeeping - at first as an amateur, and then a little more seriously and I combined viticulture and beekeeping," said Milorad Globarević, whose stand featured wine, various types of brandy, liqueurs combined with honey, honey and honey products.
As he said, he has been involved in beekeeping for more than three decades, and it has been 15 years since his hobby turned into a business. He participates in fairs around Montenegro and the region and usually wins medals for his wine, brandy, and honey.
"My wife and I are doing this and we can make a living from this. We can make a living from this, but it requires serious work. Younger people should be involved in this, it should be pushed and they should be helped, because young people can keep this going. I am over 60 years old and there is no more progress in our country, that is why young people are needed," said Globarević, who will be beekeepers in Draževina until the end of May, and then move the company to Gornja Brezna, in Pivo.
Fairs in Nikšić, but also throughout Montenegro, have been unimaginable for decades without Dragica
Mirjačić and her dogwood products. That was the case this time too.
"Dogwood is organically produced and we prepare it for the market, but I also use sage, mint, nettle, wild apple, to simply 'stripe' the dogwoods a little. People have an ear for domestic products, but money is quite a problem, however, we have had the same customers for years - both they and we are satisfied," said Mirjačić, whose stand, as usual, attracted attention with both its product range and aesthetics.
The Easter Bazaar was organized by the Municipality of Nikšić, in cooperation with the Church Municipality of Nikšić, the Public Institution "Zahumlje" and the Tourist Organization.
