School Principals from Central Bosnia Canton

Elementary school principals from the Central Bosnia Canton visited our school on 15th and 16th of October. During their stay, the principals toured the school and learned about our many extracurricular activities through a prepared presentation. Since the main purpose of the visit is to develop cooperation and connect schools in Vojvodina with schools in the Central Bosnia Canton, in which the teaching process is organised in Croatian, the principals donated funds for the purchase of our school van as a pledge of established cooperation. The visit of our dear guests ended with the signing of a Charter of friendship and cooperation, which is a confirmation and guarantee of continuing the established cooperation.
