Together with Europe House Kosovo and JRS Kosovo, Ukrainian Kosovo Association Bridges of Friendship organized a unique event - Christmas evening with Ukrainian soul in Kosovo.
The event was opened with a speech by the representative of Europe House in Kosovo - Boguslav Gertruda.
Also we had greetings from Ukrainian army
“Welcome to our Ukrainian home. Christmas is a special time when families come together, light candles, prepare kutia and varenyky, sing carols and wish each other well.
On this day, carollers come to the house — angels, shepherds, stargazers and Kozak!
Today we want to share with you a piece of our warmth, our traditions and music that lives in the heart of every Ukrainian. I invite you to celebrate with us!”
