The group from Kyustendil traveling with the folklore ensemble Pautalia is unable to reach the festival at Golesh, the locality where the borders of Bulgaria, Serbia and North Macedonia come together. By a tradition, the festival is organized by the municipalities Kyustendil in Bulgaria, Kriva Palanka in North Macedonia and Bosilegrad in Serbia. The group from Kriva Palanka has not arrived either, the BNR reports.

According to the organization approved, a temporary border checkpoint should have opened in the morning in the region of Bobeshino village, with entry into Serbia using an ID card, but that has not happened.
