This festival was initiated to honor the cultural heritage of Serbs from Metropolitan (Metohija) region. It provides a platform for folk ensembles (ansamblima) from enclaves and neighboring countries to gather and share traditions. It reinforces community identity through song and dance, in the spirit of church-related festivities (Bogu na dar implies dedication to God).
