New Year 2025: Minister of Culture Asta Vrečko with her team`s message
In the New Year every day is an opportunity to meet and learn about ourselves and each other through arts and culture. May we take heed in 2005 as we build new communities and care for existing ones.
Happy New Year 2025!
Peace amid all planets and comets and stars.
Peace amid starship and worlds far apart.
Peace amid moonlight and infinite space, quite and bright.
- Boris A. Novak, translated by K. K.
