Péter Hoppál, state secretary for culture, said at the exhibition’s opening that bilateral relations between Hungary and Slovenia had continually grown stronger over the past two decades, adding that cultural relations were key to the progress.

He praised the state of Slovenia for setting an example for Europe by providing cultural autonomy to ethnic Hungarians in Slovenia.

The programme was made possible by support from Slovenian president Borut Pahor and Hungary’s head of state János Áder.
