President Gordana Siljanovska Davkova attended a concert by pianist Simon Trpceski in Rome last night at the event called Macedonia in Honor of Saint Cyril. She said such events are a reminder of the power of cultural diplomacy. The president stated, "I am speechless. First of all, the atmosphere at Horti Salustiani is wonderful, not to mention Simon Trpčeski and his band. Of course, in addition to Tchaikovsky and Grieg, they also performed Makedonissimo. I think all the excellencies present from the embassies, the representatives of our diaspora, not only in Italy, but also from other countries, were speechless," said President Siljanovska Davkova.
