Krokodil Literary Festival
Krokodil Festival (Knjzevno Regionalno Okupljanje Koje Otklanja Dosadu I Letargiju) is a literary festival, with the main event held annually in Belgrade, Serbia. The festival mostly presents authors from the region of former Yugoslavia (Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Slovenia, Montenegro and Serbia) with exceptions like authors from Germany or Denmark. The main festival event is the Belgrade Summer Krokodil, a three-day or two-day festival held in June.[1]
