PALILULA GOT `TEFERIC` - TRADITIONAL DRINKING FOUNTAIN

30.09.2009.

Two city municipalities Mediana and Palilula financed setting of new drinking fountain of very interesting shape –barrel form, but also interesting functions on one of part of Palilula railway stop, that has been known for many, many years as a place for gathering of this part of Nis. There are also new benches and a table for rest. Small celebration was also organized for this event. After words of greeting by the presidents: Cirkovic (Medijana) and Novakovic (Palilula) and with famous Palilula singer of old Nis songs - Cokalija as well as  Branko ensemble, Palilula fountain reminded many passer-bys on old Nis and bohemian life of Palilula. With stories, vine from Gorica and delicious food called `meze`, prepared by women associations after the recipes of our grand grandmothers, this warm meeting of people living in Palilula and people living in Medijana, continued through the day.

This activity is a good example of Nis municipalities good cooperation, especially in cherishing spiritual and cultural heritage of this area. The authorities of these two municipalities had in mind the chance to steal one day from the oblivion and give one moment of old Nis to young and new generations.
