The national ensemble Kolo presents the gala concert "Međa" on 22 December from 8 p.m. at Sava Centar in Belgrade. Its full name is the Kolo National Folk Dance and Song Ensemble of Serbia, and the concert is supported by the Serbian Ministry of Culture.

Kolo was founded on 5 May 1948 by decision of the then People's Republic of Serbia, and gave its first performance just ten days later, at the Stanković music school in Belgrade. Its task is to collect, arrange and preserve the folk heritage of dances, songs and music. From its founding to 2012 it gave more than 6,000 concerts to more than 12 million spectators.

The ensemble returned to Sava Centar in November 2025 with the show "Srpska svita", after an eight-year break from that stage. "Međa" is the new gala programme, and the poster puts folk costume at its centre, with embroidered vests and metal buckles, hinting at an evening in which the costume matters as much as the choreography.

Tickets on tickets.rs start at 1,800 dinars, about 947 denars. After 78 years and more than 6,000 concerts, Kolo is still making new programmes, keeping its heritage not in a display case but on stage.
