He shared his appreciation for having had the opportunity to meet some of the Burgenland Croats during his visit to Eisenstadt at the beginning of his first term, and voiced his hope to visit other areas inhabited by Burgenland Croats during his second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Charter was accepted by the ensemble\u2019s President, Gabriela Novak-Karall, who thanked President Milanovi\u0107 and emphasized that the award was not only a recognition of the ensemble \u201cKolo-Slavuj,\u201d but of all Burgenland Croats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside Novak-Karall, the ceremony at the Office of the President was attended by ensemble members Pavel Maly, Lydia Nova, Gisela Csenar, Ivona Haban, Sophie Hajszan, Theresa Grandits, Josef Buranits, Vera Buranits, and Alexander Wukovits, as well as the Ambassador of the Republic of Austria to the Republic of Croatia, Markus Wuketich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKolo-Slavuj\u201d is the central folklore ensemble of the Croatian minority in Burgenland. Since its founding in 1971, it has brought together members from various Croatian communities in Burgenland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Vienna, where the ensemble is based. Its reach extends beyond the Croatian community; while preserving traditional repertoire, \u201cKolo-Slavuj\u201d also explores new artistic expressions, blending folk traditions with contemporary dance and music. At the ceremony marking the presentation of the Charter of the Republic of Croatia, the ensemble performed the songs \u201cVa Klimpuhi,\u201d \u201cLipo ti je \u010duti,\u201d and \u201cSno\u0107 kasno sam stala.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_4834-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_4834-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_4848-1024x731.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_4848-768x549.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_4856-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_4856-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_5478-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_5478-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_5511-1024x731.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_5511-768x549.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_5525-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_5525-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_5543-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_5543-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_4942-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC_4942-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Marko Beljan, Tomislav Bu\u0161ljeta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 awarded the Charter of the Republic of Croatia to the Croatian Folklore Ensemble of Burgenland \u201cKolo-Slavuj\u201d in recognition of its outstanding contribution to the preservation of Croatian cultural heritage and its exceptional achievements in promoting Burgenland-Croatian culture over more than 50 years of activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36885,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-36895","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
