A new edition of the traditional carnival satirical magazine "Karampana" came out yesterday in the press, which reads in the introductory: "It used to be a city of Kotor - today a settlement with characteristics of a city. Those from the DPS, as once Vučurovic for Dubrovnik, decided to make older, more beautiful and more advanced Kotor by the system of PROFONDO..
Karampana as an integral part of the traditional Kotor Winter Carnival dates back to 1926 and is sold at Kameni Kiosk in front of the Old town of Kotor.
Kotor President Vladimir Jokic pointed out that it is a well-marked tradition that lasts more than five hundred years.
"Today in Kotor it was nice to see when the main city street is closed, when people are walking and when they resist everything that has been bad in the past year. I hope to move this carnival maze and walk from Kotor to Podgorica and resist everything bad in this system," said Jokić.
On behalf of the organizer, the Cultural Center "Nikola Đurković," the director Marija Bernard expressed satisfaction with the overall organization of the Kotor’s Carnival, which was organized for the 501st time.
"Our goal was to be better than last year. The procession was vivid; with a large number of masks; with a critical review of the current situation. It was very demanding to organize all of this because the tradition of half a millennium is bound to excellence," Marija Bernard told Boka News.
