Ahead of the festival’s opening, Jelen OK Fest director Dubravko Suvara expressed his gratitude to the audience, sponsors, friends of the festival, and performers, many of whom return to Tjentište year after year.

"With our collective energy, we have created a truly regional event that is now widely recognized. What’s already clear on this first day of the festival is that we have a duty to make next year’s edition even more successful, bigger, and of even higher quality," said Suvara.

The Mayor of Foča, Milan Vukadinović, welcomed all attendees on behalf of himself and the people of his municipality.

"I’m pleased to see that the conditions and the atmosphere here improve each year. I hope the festival runs smoothly once again and wish all the young people a joyful experience, enjoying the perfect blend of entertainment and nature," he said.

Zoran Čančar, Acting Director of the Sutjeska National Park, described the magical atmosphere of Tjentište as otherworldly.

"The beauty and scenery you can witness and feel here are out of this world. This is something beyond Earth's orbit," Čančar added.

Organizers promise that Jelen OK Fest will once again transform Sutjeska National Park into the epicenter of fun in the region. Over three festival days, top names from the regional and global music scenes will take the stage, offering a packed program filled with energy and unforgettable moments.

As in previous years, the atmosphere at Tjentište is filled with dancing, smiles, and irresistible rhythms, reaffirming the festival’s reputation as one of the region’s most beloved music gatherings.
