The 6th International Congress of Belarusianists features 150 experts from the nearest neighbouring countries to the United Kingdom and Japan. The event is focused on the 500th anniversary of the first book printed in the Belarusian language, which will be marked in 2017, and launches all events dedicated to this significant date.
Tomorrow, the Congress will present ancient Belarusian rarities from the collection of the National Academy of Sciences. A specialised book fair, which has opened today, offers books by Belarusian classical and contemporary writers.
