The Council of the Yugoslav Theater Festival which had selected three theaters from Serbia, two from Croatia and one from each, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro theaters from the Republics of former Yugoslavia was forced to reschedule the event was rescheduled for April 2010 after the spread of the N1H1 flu virus to Uzice.
All preparations for the start of the festival were ready, but with the recent appearance of the first few cases of the N1H1 virus in Uzice, the event producers had to consider the potential risk to locals and visitors alike if the festival went ahead as scheduled from November 9th to the 16th.
