Summary:
Regional Secretary for Informataion Rafail Ruskovski met with a delegation from Sojuz led by Dr. Julijan Tamaš on 12 June. On the agenda were plans for the summer Rusyn and Ukrainian school in Ruski Kerestur.

Sojuz wants the two – the Rusyn and the Ukrainian – schools to be held together and to be conducted by students and professors who have studied in Ukraine in the past ten years.

Last year’s summer Rusyn school was held in Kerestur, while the Ukrainian one took place in Sremska Mitrovica. Sojuz argues that it would be more cost-effective to hold both in the same place.

Tamaš also mentoined to Ruskovski the need to form a single National Council for both Rusyns and Ukrainians, according to the article.
