ZAGREB, 1 December, 2021 - On the occasion of Romanian Statehood Day, 1 December, an exhibition of photos on Istro-Romanians, a language community which today numbers only a few hundred, was staged at Zagreb's Klovićevi Dvori gallery on Wednesday.
On display are works by art photographers Constantin Demeter, Gheorghe Petrila and Ovidiu Gabor that pay tribute to the Istro-Romanian language community, which despite being small has managed to preserve its language after more than 1,000 years since their ancestors settled on the peninsula of Istria.
The exhibition, to which admission is free, was organised by the Romanian Embassy in Zagreb, the Association of Romanians in Croatia and the Romanian Cultural Institute.
The event will be open until 5 December.
"Romania and Croatia cooperate closely in preserving this common cultural good, a part of the European cultural heritage," the organisers said.
