In the book Insight into Slovak-Magyar Relations we are publishing articles, which present the Slovak position of their authors on this relationship. The authors of the articles met on 18 September 2009 for an expert seminar in the
Institute of Slavonic Studies of Ján Stanislav of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The paper by the Norwegian author Egil Lejon was read in his absence. The participants in the seminar especially welcomed the presence of the minister of
culture of the Slovak Republic Marek Maďarič, and another honoured guest – the Slovak writer from Hungary Gregor Papuček. The seminar was organized by the Institute of Slavonic Studies of Ján Stanislav of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Slovak Language Department of the Philosophy Faculty of the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra, the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic and the Language Department of Matica Slovenská.
