This year, BOZAR, 1001 valises and Romani Yag work together once again to bring to you the ROMA TOUCH during the Balkan Trafik festival. Through this, we want to highlight the importance and diversity of the Roma people’s culture within the mosaic of the Balkans. Thanks to the renewed partnership with the Open Society Institute and Roma Decade, Balkan Trafik can once again stress the importance of International Roma Day.
