Slovak Culture Minister Natalia Milanova on Thursday met her French counterpart Roselyne Bachelot in Paris to discuss the impacts of the pandemic on the area of culture, including assistance needed to restart creative sectors and the prospect of bilateral collaboration at an expert level. "I consider it very important that the French have offered us cooperation at the level of expert groups, not only when it comes to heritage conservation, but also in setting up aid schemes for culture," Milanova told TASR. "I am pleased that Slovakia will be able to benefit in this way from tried and tested mechanisms."
