Reflection on the project: the implementation of the project brought new inspiration for cross-border cooperation between Slovakia and Ukraine, also thanks to informal work contacts between Slovak, Norwegian and Ukrainian partners. The achieved results have the potential to contribute to the review of conservative approaches of state and local authorities and institutions to cross-border relations.

Research focus:
The research focuses on Czech and Slovak history of 20th century, the history of ethnic minorities, the history of the Ruthenians and Ukrainians in Slovakia and Central Europe and the development of cross-border relations after 1945.

Projects:
Acted as a co-ordinator of several international and domestic science projects dealing with ethnic issues and issues of cross-border relations (projects VEGA, APVV, ESF, ENPI, Central European University, Ministry of Culture, Fridrich Ebert Stiftung, Norwegian grants, etc.)
