The 20th edition of the ProEtnica Intercultural Festival, which takes place between August 28 and September 1 in the Mediaeval Fortress of Sighisoara, will unfold under the high aegis of the President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis.
On March 25, Iohannis granted his high aegis for three events scheduled this year: the International Meeting of the Saxons, which took place between August 2 and 4 in Sibiu; ProEtnica 2024, and the 31st edition of the Astra Film Festival, and Astra Film Junior, scheduled for October 20-27 in Sibiu.
