Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to Podgorica Songül Ozan delivered a keynote speech during the opening of the event. "I would like to express my thanks to the organizer of the festival, and the sponsors of the festival, particularly including Yunus Emre Institute's Podgorica Branch, the Turkish Airlines, and Radosav Ljumović Library Director. Turkey was also part of this event last year. This year, our guitarist Hasan Meten represents Turkey. Turkey will continue to support the festival in coming years as well," she said.

Festival organizer Srdjan Bulatovic said: "The mission of the festival is to establish a link between the culture of Montenegro and other cultures. What differentiates this festival from others is that the venues that are designed for other purposes are transformed into concert areas. In addition, we promote unusual and extraordinary instruments during the festival. Tonight, we will have a chance to listen to the guitar accompanied with the marimba. There has been intense interest in our concerts so far. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the organization of this festival."

Guitarist Hasan Meten took the stage following the concert by the Portuguese "Guirimbadu" duo and played his repertoire of classical music and own compositions.

Attended by guitarists from Turkey, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Austria, the Guitar Days in Podgorica Festival ended with the concert by Austrian artist Pippo Corvino on March 28, 2019.
