The Royal Netherlands Embassy in Sofia opened a special exhibition, dedicated to the history and accomplishments of the Hague institutions. The exposition is also a compliment to Bulgaria for its role in establishing mechanisms to settle peacefully disputes between countries.
Bulgarian public is the first non-specialized audience that has the opportunity to see the exhibition before it starts a lengthy tour across Europe, Dutch curator Dr Arthur Eyffinger has said.
According to him, the exhibition speaks of the big role a small nation can play on the international scene such as the role of Netherlands "protected through the centuries from a number of dangers by its geographical isolation" and Bulgaria "that was in the eye of the storm for years."
The exhibition that takes place under the aegis of Bulgaria's Foreign Minster Solomon Passy will run till October 26.
