This year's Sarajevo Film Festival (SFF) will feature a traditional Bosnian carpet instead of a red carpet.
Bosnian carpet is a special kind of carpet featuring mostly oriental look, which represents an important cultural value of Bosniaks, Croats, Serbs and other peoples living in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The most common Bosnian carpets have red backgrounds and a variety of ornaments in the foreground, with richly decorated edges.
