A CELEBRATION OF NATURE, HARMONY AND RICH FLAVORS AT THE GALA NIGHT IN BANSKI DVOR

A glamorous gala evening dedicated to nature and the unique taste of Gorki List gathered friends and partners of the brand in the elegant setting of the Banski Dvor Cultural Center in Banja Luka.

Familiar faces from the cultural, business and public spheres walked the red carpet before enjoying a night devoted to nature, harmony and the richness of flavors of this renowned herbal liqueur.

Guests were welcomed by Vojin Đorđević, the person who has been closest to the brand for the longest time, preserving and nurturing its authenticity with great dedication.

“It is true that I have been with Gorki List for a long time, perhaps the longest. I have devoted much time, energy and love to it – and the more I get to know it, the more I value it. Through years of working with people who truly understand plants and their power, I have come to appreciate Gorki List even more, because it is truly nature’s finest gift and fully deserves our respect. Nature has been kind to Gorki List, and we want to express our gratitude — which is why tonight we are announcing the project ‘From Society to Nature’, launching in 2026 with the desire to give back at least a part of what nature provides us every day,” Đorđević said.

The evening was enriched by an artistic performance directed by ballet artist Milan Gromilić, featuring Ivana Dudić and Ivan Zekić in the roles of the Absinthe Fairy and Pan. Through a blend of light, sound and movement, they symbolically revived the spirit of nature and presented the 11 plants that individually and collectively contribute to the harmony and enduring flavor of Gorki List, cherished for more than six decades.

The musical segment was led by Vlado Georgiev, whose songs filled the Banski Dvor Concert Hall with the warmth and emotion for which gatherings of this kind are known.

“The evening in Banja Luka showed how much Gorki List lovers appreciate its quality, flavor, character and authenticity. As the long-standing distributor of the brand in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Frutela strives to nurture that connection through reliable distribution and constant market presence,” said Anja Malešević, Marketing Director of Frutela Group, the exclusive distributor of Gorki List for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Gorki List has been present on regional markets for decades, while lovers of authentic spirits in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Russia and the United States also enjoy its distinctive taste today.
