As the result of the meetings, it was decided to host the delegation from Serbia in Nizhny Novgorod this fall.
The delegation from Nizhny Novgorod also visited exhibitions, took part in the international student fair OPENS Youth Fest and one of the biggest music festivals in Europe - EXIT.
Platova Julia:
At the Nizhny Novgorod stands during the student fair and music festival we were speaking a lot not only about the city, but also about Minin University. People who visited the exhibition were genuinely interested in admission.
We have only positive impressions from the trip. Serbia is a beautiful country with hospitable and open people. We definitely want to visit Serbia again and express our deep gratitude to our university for the opportunity to take part in this event!
