Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Jazz music has a history in Mitrovica dating to Yugoslav times. The festival was initiated by local musicians to integrate Kosovo Serbs into broader cultural dialogue and to highlight Mitrovica’s artistic resilience. It fosters a sense of normalcy and international connection in a divided city. The name "Severni grad" (Northern City) reflects Mitrovica’s Serbian half and pride in their cultural scene.
