The event was part of the preparations for the recognition by the Parliament of the Republic of North Macedonia of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian nation.
In addition, Professor Volodymyr Serhiychuk gave an open lecture to the audience of the Faculty of Philosophy of the leading Macedonian University – Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje.
