We are Opening the Door to Cooperation with Belarus
Belarus is neither geographically nor culturally remote, still in Slovakia we do not know a lot about this nation. Thus, the representatives from the Catholic University in Ruzomberok – the dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters Marek Babic and his vice-dean for research, arts and doctoral studies Eugen Zeleňák – visited Belarus to establish cooperation with the educational institutions in Belarus. Their visit was organized and supported by the honorary consul of the Republic of Belarus in Slovakia Marián Murin.
