“All of our villages that have their own cultural associations have received significant support through our budget, but also, the City of Trilj and the Tourist Board with their partners and sponsors have designed a high-quality program, for younger to more serious visitors, patriotic to serious music lovers. All this contributes not only to the beautiful image of Trilj but also to the content that must grow year after year and be as good as possible and better,” said Šipić.

“On July 20, we will have a spectacular concert by Marko Perković Thompson. This concert will be humanitarian in a way that we will help the family of a Croatian defender. The City of Trilj will donate funds from ticket sales directly to the Red Cross account to help the family who lost their father, a Croatian defender, on the Trilj bridge a few months ago,” emphasized Šipić.

Director of the Trilj Tourist Board Andriana Ivković also spoke about the increase of the quality of tourist services in the area.
