Balkan Funk TSU AEGEE: May 2012

Hello hello :)

Well, summer is getting closer and closer, and we can't wait! We read a lot of great motivation letters, and choosing participants was a hard task, but we hope we made the right choice :) So, congratulations to all of you who will get this opportunity to explore our fascinating cultures! To people who were not accepted, we are very sorry about it, but we hope to see you at one of our future events :) And people in the waiting list, don't give up! You still have a chance! :)

So, now that we have our participants, the next question is: how to plan your trip? Well, here it goes:

We end our journey on July 30 in Zrće Beach. Zrće is located near the city of Novalja on the island Pag. Pag is connected to land, so we recommend taking a bus to Zadar or Zagreb and planning your trip from there. Here is where you can find the info about the buses from Novalja:
