Given that book promotions and literary readings are not very popular events, we did not expect many visitors and were satisfied with the number of people that showed up (about 30 for each of the promotions). In Skopje and Belgrade, the audience was mostly made up of peace and human rights activists. Only the promotion in Sarajevo received media coverage. In Belgrade and Skopje, we were particularly glad to receive dear friends who had come from other cities or countries to attend the event.<\/p>\n

The visitors could get a copy of the collection, and its electronic edition is available online at: http:\/\/biber.nenasilje.org\/biber-01-2016\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The next promotion will be in Novi Sad on 9 June at 7 pm at the BulevarBooks bookshop. It is organised by Sla\u0111ana Ljubi\u010di\u0107 who received the third prize in the Biber contest.<\/p>\n
