SIBENIK, June 22 (Hina) - The 37th International Children's Festival was
opened in the Croatian coastal town of Sibenik on Saturday evening.

Sibenik, County Prefect Ivo Baica addressed the gathering.
Opening the festival on behalf of its sponsor, Croatian President
Franjo Tudjman, Culture Minister Bozo Biskupic pointed out the
importance of the event.
"We must not forget that in the recent past the wounded and war-
stricken Sibenik gathered strength to maintain the Children's Festival

because of children's creative work," Biskupic said.
After the ceremonial opening, a play by the director, Slavica Senk,
was performed by Pula's 'Zaro' youth group.
