Quotes from participants

Dr. Ovčina: It was my pleasure to be a guest for a while in the National and University Library of Slovenia

Also, it was worth sharing our knowledge and experience with colleagues from Slovenia and it is important to continue with our professional ties as well with our friendly relations. We are happy and proud to have these kinds of relations with all colleagues in our Region and beyond, due to help of CENL.
