Customs and Traditions
Illyrian carnivals (Bozovce) - this traditional holiday has a history of 3 thousand years and dates back to the oldest Illyrian times. Inherited by the new generations, the inhabitants of Bozovce managed to preserve it as a tradition. Dressed in sheep's fur, from March 13 to 21, they believe that they will chase away bad things and evil spirits, so that they are as far away from the village as possible and do not harm the sources of livelihood of the inhabitants of this village. In the past, this holiday was performed in the same way in other villages from the hilly-mountainous areas of Sar Mountain, such as Lisec, Veshala and Shipkovica, but today this event is organized only in Bozovce. The carnivals end with a joint lunch and traditional dishes in Bozovce.
Folk traditional games (Selce) - the inhabitants of the village of Selce have brought back the old tradition of traditional games that were part of the life of the Sar Mountain villages in the past.
