Fête des Pains – Bread Festival is a celebration organized around bread. The only foods that can symbolically express all the diversity of Europe. On May 6, visitors had the opportunity to taste and buy bakery specialties from all over Europe at the Schuman roundabout.

The activities that took place in the heart of Brussels included the presentation of Croatia as part of the Open Day of the EU institutions on Saturday, May 6. It is a traditional event in the EU institutions, during which the EU Council buildings - Justus Lipsius and Europa - were open to visitors throughout the day.

Virovitica-Podravina County, Vukovar-Srijem County and Požega-Slavonia County presented their products and brochures at a stand organized by the Representation of Slavonia, Baranja and Srijem and the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union.

In the atrium of the Justus Lipsius building, all member states had their stands set up. At the Croatian stand, interested visitors could get information about Croatian history and culture, tourist offer and gastronomy, and various promotional materials and brochures of our counties were distributed. As an additional attraction for visitors, there were also "virtual reality glasses", which made it possible to visit Croatia from a VR armchair.

Promotional activities of the Republic of Croatia in Brussels continue this week with the Croatian Gastronomy Week, which will last until Friday, May 12. On this occasion, three restaurants in the EU Council buildings will offer some of the most famous specialties of Croatian cuisine.

We hereby once again thank Virovitica-Podravina County, Vukovar-Srijem County and Požega-Slavonia County for the product donation and the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union for the successful organization.
