At the online meeting, the students told each other about the holidays, traditions of universities, about what opportunities for professional realization they see in our countries, what music they listen to, how they spend their free time, what languages they speak.

The final chord of the meeting was a musical quiz “Songs of Slavic peoples”. The students were presented compositions of Eastern, Western and Southern Slavic peoples. The guys guessed in which language the song sounds, not only catching the peculiarities of pronunciation of individual sounds. They also attentively penetrated into the content of the lyrics: they listened to geographical names, names, words characteristic for this or that nation. The students of both countries, showing their erudition and attention, successfully guessed all the presented riddles.
