     In their turn, the delegation noted that today the University performs an extremely important mission – nature preservation. The guests thanked all instructors who pass their knowledge about nature.

     The Greek side was particularly interested in production of organic food. And without any doubt we can find here common ground. After all, our scientists have many developments that will cause interest with our partners.
