\u201cThe Balkans have long been shaped by complex histories and divisions, but these couples remind us that connection, understanding and love continue to exist despite politics and prejudice. Their stories offer hope and a vision of the region today \u2013 as well as the future that is possible\u201d<\/em>, said the author of the exhibition.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Deputy Head of the Delegation of the European Union in Serbia, Plamena Halacheva<\/strong>, stated that the exhibition \u201cBalkan Love\u201d is a love told beyond borders, languages, traditions and beliefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cEurope\u2019s motto is United in Diversity, and this moto is tested honestly and lived courageously, precisely right here, in the Balkans. These couples do not merely tolerate diversity. They embrace it at the most intimate level possible. They wake up with it every morning. They choose it, again and again. This exhibition was born from a belief that coexistence is a lived experience: imperfect, tender, and real\u201d<\/em>, said Halacheva.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The deputy chief of mission of the Swiss embassy, Miguel Luis La Plante-Perez<\/strong>, said that \u201cit is very important to have such bridges between people and intercultural exchange\u201d.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
