At 10:00 AM, the Official Session of the Konjic Town Council will take place, followed by a ceremony at 11:00 AM in the Konjic Sports Hall. During the ceremony, special attention will be given to all those who contributed through their efforts during and after the October floods. Regarding this, the Mayor of Konjic, Osman Ćatić, states:

“Remembering everything that happened to us and the way our fellow citizens, as well as people from across Bosnia and Herzegovina and around the world, responded to the disaster that struck not only the town of Konjic but also other local communities throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, the goal of the city administration and myself personally is to express our gratitude to all those who stood with the people of Neretvica and Konjic during those difficult times. For this reason, as part of the Konjic Town Days, a special ceremony will be held where we will strive to thank everyone who, in any way, contributed to helping our fellow citizens during that period. Considering that during that challenging time for Konjic we were mostly on the ground working hard, we may not have recorded all the people involved, so we kindly ask everyone who was there for the town of Konjic and our fellow citizens to come forward and get in touch with us.”

On June 17, starting at 10:00 AM, the most beautiful kindergarten balcony will be selected as part of the “May Rose” project on the waves of Radio Konjic.

On Saturday, June 21, at 10:00 AM, Scout Meetings will take place, followed by a concert at 7:30 PM by the Resonance Elementary Music School.

The last two events are book promotions.

On Monday, June 23, 2025, at 8:00 PM, the book promotion of “Sunce rodnog kraja” by Sadik Alić will be held in the Bosnian Room of the National University. On Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 8:00 PM, the book “Semiotics of Bosnia” by Professor Dr. Sanadin Lavić will be promoted in the Bosnian Room of the National University, organized by the Bosniak Cultural Community.

According to the organizing committee, all events within the Konjic City Days festival have been tailored to reflect the developments over the past eight months in the Konjic region—a period characterized by intensive efforts to overcome the difficulties caused by the October floods, landslides, and rockfalls.

“Dear friends from the beautiful city of Konjic, you have surprised me more than once. I was amazed by the city itself — peaceful, quiet, cozy, and beautiful. I was impressed by your well-organized festival, the kindness of your people, and, last but not least, the audience who gave fantastic support to our performance. And finally, what can I say? Thank you for all the acting awards you gave us and thank you for your hospitality. We will definitely come again when you invite us!”
— Actor Branko Vidaković
