It will be held this year under the auspices of the President of the Republic. The organizers invited President Milanovi\u0107 to personally attend the 500<sup>th<\/sup> edition of the \u201cEaster Holster of Kostel\u201d and the President of the Republic accepted the invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the meeting, the President of the Republic was introduced to the history of the event, which began in 1523 as a custom of shooting from a pistol during Easter, marking the arrival of spring and the period when nature returns to life. Today, it is not only an original custom that has been preserved and handed down by the inhabitants of Kostel, but also a major tourist attraction.
