East Sarajevo students forge ties in Krasnodar through cultural and patriotic exchange

A delegation from East Sarajevo's Istocna Ilidza Secondary School Center has arrived in Krasnodar. The visit, under a partnership agreement between Krasnodar’s School No. 109 and the Istocna Ilidza Secondary School Center, aims to strengthen educational ties and promote cultural exchanges. Mayor Yevgeny Naumov and City Council Chair Vera Galushko welcomed the delegation.

The delegation, led by Svetlana Cholakovic, began their visit at Krasnodar’s Post No. 1. Here, they learned about the city’s military-patriotic movement history and viewed exhibits. Igor Babichev, head of Krasnodar’s composite honor guard unit, spoke about the development of the city’s patriotic movement. The visitors witnessed the ceremonial oath of the guard and learned about posting procedures and how schoolchildren join the honor guard.

The delegation also laid flowers at the Eternal Flame on Heroes’ Memory Square, paying their respects to the city’s fallen heroes. Throughout their visit, the students from East Sarajevo explored Krasnodar’s history, traditions, and experienced the city’s atmosphere. Svetlana Cholakovic noted that such exchanges help foster friendship between young people from both cities.

The delegation from East Sarajevo has returned home after a successful visit to Krasnodar. The trip, part of the ongoing cooperation between the two institutions, has strengthened Russian-Serbian friendship and promoted cultural exchanges among young people. Both cities look forward to further exchanges and collaborations in the future.
