Viktor Babariko noted that the project will present Francysk Skaryna's legacy in the countries connected with the life of Eastern Europe's first book printer. The international project will kick off in Lithuania in May and later head for Poland, the Czech Republic, and Italy. Belarus will be the last stop on the route.
