For 4 years in a row now, the first peace torch in the New Year is lit in Dubrovnik.

Već četvrtu godinu zaredom, prva baklja mira u Novoj godini pali se u Dubrovniku.

Everyone is merry with sounds of the classical concert.

Veselo je uz klasični koncert na Stradunu.

The Peace Runners are participating in Dubrovnik's New Year 10K race - DuRun. Some are ready to start the opening ceremony….

Trkači Utrke mira sudjeluju na dubrovačkoj novogodišnjoj utrci na 10 km – DuRun—u. Dok su neki spremni za početak službene ceremonije otvaranja utrke…

The Peace Torch is lit by the Mayor of Dubrovnik, Mr. Mato Franković. The Master of Ceremony is, as always, our good friend and patron, president of the organizational comittee, Mr. Mišo Mihočević.

Baklju mira upalio je dubrovački gradonačelnik, g. Mato Franković. Voditelj programa je kao i uvijek predsjednik organizacijskog odbora utrke, naš dobar prijatelj i zaštitnik, nenadmašni Mišo Mihočević.

Our friend Mišo receives the Torch Bearer Award – not only for his support of Peace Run, but also for his inspiring service to the community.

Našeg Mišu smo ove godine odlikovali medaljom Nositelja Baklje Mira – ne samo zbog potpore koju je pružio Utrci mira, već i zbog nesebičnog služenja zajednici.
