Mirëdita, dobar dan festival

June 27th - 29th

[Dutch Embassy in Serbia and in Montenegro @NLinBelgrade]

Expressed strong support for @YIHRSerbia today, after @MDDfestival was banned and organisers were threatened. Intimidation and violence must not be permitted to compromise peaceful cultural exchange and basic human rights. Responsible authorities should act. #freedomofexpression

[EU u Srbiji @eusrbija]

Disappointing to hear that the EU-funded "Mirëdita, Dobar Dan" festival, taking place since 2014, was banned today. This commendable CSO initiative builds bridges between the peoples, an important part of the Belgrade-Pristina normalisation efforts.

[OSCE/ODIHR @osce_odihr]

ODIHR is concerned by the closure of an annual peacebuilding festival in Belgrade. We call on the #Serbia authorities to respect the fundamental rights to #FreedomOfExpression and to peaceful assembly, and to guarantee the safety of all #HumanRights defenders.

👉We hereby declare that we will fight with all legal means against any form of discrimination and hatred. Your support means that, regardless of the bans, Kosovo artists will always be welcome in Belgrade.

📌Žao nam je zbog odluke MUP-a da se festival "Mirdita, dobar dan!" zabrani.

[Fond za humanitarno pravo @FHPHLC]

Zabrane i pritisci neće sprečiti civilna društva Srbije i Kosova da nastave saradnju s čvrstim uverenjem da će neminovno doći vreme kada će političke elite umesto održavanju sukoba morati da se posvete pomirenju i priznanju patnji drugog.

[EFB @Balkan_Fund]

The EFB strongly condemns the ban of the "Mirëdita, dobar dan!" festival. For a decade, it has fostered art, culture, advocacy, and dialogue, uniting artists and activists from Kosovo and Serbia in a shared commitment to peace and cooperation.

[Sophia💥 @todorovicsophia]

Zabranjen je, nije otkazan.

[Slobodni građani @pokretslobodnih]

Pokret slobodnih građana zahteva od Ministarstva unutrašnjih poslova i Ivice Dačića da hitno povuku sramnu naredbu o zabrani festivala "Mirdita, dobar dan" i omoguće njegovo održavanje i garantuju bezbednost svih učesnika i posetilaca.

U centru Prištine prošle godine na festivalu Mirdita, dobar dan građani su palili sveće za decu ubijenu u Ribnikaru.

[Maja Žilić @majazilic12]

Danas sam se najviše radovala činjenici da vidim drage ljude sa Kosova, da popijemo piće i uživamo u festivalu. Jer to je poenta svega. Da se susrećemo i da razgovaramo.

Očigledno da ovoj državi takva saradnja predatavlja problem.

[Civil Rights Defenders Europe @CRDEurope]

🚨 The banning of the “Mirëdita, dobar dan!” festival is a grave violation of freedom of expression and assembly. This festival is crucial for peacebuilding between Kosovo and Serbia. We stand in solidarity with the organisers and participants. @MDDfestival
