Meeting "Pri Kalinu"

Bregana has always been a meeting place for Croatian and Slovenian citizens, a picturesque area and crossroads, and a place of friendship and togetherness.

Encouraged by this cooperation, the neighbors on both sides of the border, from the Slovenian and Croatian sides, decided to commemorate the date that reunited them, the day of the Republic of Croatia's entry into the European Union.

They meet at the historic place between the Kalin tavern and the former Šavrić factory on July 1 and celebrate their reunion with a rich cultural, artistic and gastronomic program. Cultural and artistic societies from Samobor and neighboring Slovenia, sports associations and clubs perform, and every year an increasing number of citizens respond.

On the Slovenian side near Kalin, with the cheerful sounds of accordion, polka and waltzes, local zaseka, cviček and other specialties, all with dancing and the waving of three flags - Croatian, Slovenian and EU, the residents of Obrežje, Jesenica na Dolenjskem and Brežice will welcome their friends and neighbors from Bregana, Grdanjci, and Samobor. Then together, led by KUD Licitar and the Etno-fletno association,with a song and flags they will come to the Croatian side of the border.
