The "World in Zagreb" will continue until March 22 in several
locations. It was imagined as a series of exhibitions of books,
posters and works of art, followed by magazines and other written
material, the head of the City Library Ljiljana Sabljak said,
adding that the programme also encompassed concerts, lectures
etc.
This year the City Library will present the Russian Federation. The
first part of the exhibition will last until March 11, with special
emphasis on the Komi Republic as a constituent part of the Russian
Federation. From March 12 to 22, the Kalyingrad region will also be
exhibited.
The head of the Republic of Komi, Vladimir Torlopov, expressed
particular pleasure with the fact that Russian Federation Days
commenced with an exhibition from this section of the federation.
He emphasised that Komi was rich in oil, gas, coal and bauxite and
that it was ready to develop ties with Croatian businessmen.
Russian Ambassador to Croatia Eduard Kuzmin reminded that in less
than one year two meetings were organised between Croatia's
President Stjepan Mesic and Russia's Vladimir Putin which
contributed to strengthening the bilateral ties.
