The Bridge for Balkan Music

The mission of MOST was to boost the music market of the Balkans by connecting and supporting people in the world music market. We supported artists, young managers, festivals, music venues and institutions. MOST built a bridge connecting the Southeast European region and the global music market, a bridge made up of personal connections, experience and exchange.
