5th Edition – Recitation Competition for Primary Schools in the Albanian Language in Montenegro
On the occasion of April 23 – World Book Day, the Cultural and Information Center “Malësia” – Tuzi organized the fifth edition of the Recitation Competition for primary schools with instruction in the Albanian language in Montenegro, under the motto “Poetry Brings Us Together.”
On this day, we remember with respect and appreciation the power of the book as one of humanity’s most precious treasures. The book is a window to knowledge, a guide to thought, and a bridge that connects generations, cultures, and different perspectives.
This year’s competition brought together students from the first, second, and third cycles of primary schools from Albanian-speaking communities throughout Montenegro.
