Commemorative events were held on May 7 at Dukla, at the statue of Army General Ludvik Svoboda and at the Soviet Army Memorial in Svidnik. According to Tchirova, all generations, from nursery children to older members of the Slovak Anti-Fascist Fighters Union, met at the statue of General Svoboda in Svidnik. "With the last contemporary witnesses of the horrors of wars, the last memories will also go, so it's important to build interest among our children and youth. And this, I believe, we're successfully carrying out in Svidnik," said Svidnik mayor Marcela Ivancova. am
