The festival, which is to be held every year as part of the book fair, gathers 14 coastal towns from five Adriatic countries. The purpose of the event is to show the uniqueness of their culture, their cultural and anthropological links, and their links with Europe.
The festivals will include literary, music, theatre, film and visual art events.
This year's festival focuses on the culture of the Montenegrin towns of Ulcinj, Bar and Kotor and the Montenegrin Adriatic coast.
