On Saturday, June 18 students from Parichaya Srakaeo in Thailand and Karim Taha in Algeria visited Sinj as part of an agreed program with the Sinj Tourist Board and the world's largest student organization AIESEC (founded in 1948), which operates in 110 countries worldwide.

The election results are in from the recent election for members of the local committee of the Council of Sinj - but there is a correction!

Did you see the display on Bačvice yesterday? A sand replica of a Roman monument Gaius Laber was created in honor of Croatia in the Euro 2016 football tournament.

Preparations are underway for this year's swimming season at the city pool in Sinj - prospected opening June 10!

The Tourist Board of Sinj is nearing completion on their artificial rock climbing project which began last year!

We all should be aware that Croatia is quickly becoming the music festival capital of Europe. From various festivals in Zagreb, Pag, Tisno, and Split, it's no wonder their successes are encouraging many to begin festivals of their own. This brings us to Gljevstock, the music festival of Sinj. The first Gljevstock was held in 2010, starting out as an informal music event where members of the Sinj music community would gather together to hang out. Gljevstock quickly gained a following from there, and soon began drawing in much larger audiences.

Come 2011, the Gljevstock organization was overtaken by the Sinj Artistic Commune Association, where a higher quality sound system was provided, a stage, food, drinks, and promotion helped to bring the festival to a larger scale. In 2012, popularity greatly rose, and bands from all over Croatia were lining up to perform.

The purpose of Gljevstock is to simply hang out with the good people around you, listen to some qualtiy music from around the region, and feel fully free. The bands at Gljevstock do not compete with each other, but rather compliment one another. In the past, bothing camping and ticket sales have been free.

Gljevstock exists for the music and the people. It is alive to give you the opportunity to engage with others arround you, and to find fresh music that you can bring back to your friends. Gljevstock is simple, and we can't wait to share this experience with you!

This year's lineup includes: Sara Renar, Repassage, M.O.R.T., Darkvud, Shewa, Jare, Underdog, Bekdors, Novi dan, Bluz, Jagoda, and OČ. The festival is held on Saturday, May 28th, beginning at 15.00. You can find out more info about Gljevstock here!

I once heard that you could learn a lot about your potential by knowing how to determine the difference between envy and admiration. When you admire someone, it usually is a positive feeling. You are admiring his abilities, talents or skills. When you envy someone, it is a negative feeling. You can still envy someone′s talents or skills, but the overall feeling in your body is negative. It is because, when admiring someone, it is not within your capacity to do the same and so, you are admiring it, while knowing, that this is out of your reach and you could never do the same, no matter how much you try. But whenever envy arises, it means, you could do the same, but you are not using your full potential in this particular field.
