Good thing they met at that festival in Pustec. I think it's nice that a metropolitan from Ohrid came to see the local tradition, music and dances of Prespa. Did they also talk about how these customs are preserved in small communities?

Yes, it's nice that Metropolitan Petar responded to the invitation and came to Pustec for that particular festival. I see that they focused on folk songs, dances and customs from Prespa, that's what keeps small communities together the most. I wonder if they also talked about how to pass those traditions on to the younger ones, because without that, everything is slowly disappearing.
