MINSK, 3 July (BelTA) - Traditions and customs of a nation make up the foundations of statehood. Independent Belarus has preserved the heritage of the past and created new traditions to celebrate the achievements and the best qualities of the Belarusian nation.
During the years of independence, our sovereign country has confidently moved forward, developing traditions in various walks of life. The Nationwide Ball of University Graduates, which is held annually at the end of June, has become a tradition, too. The head of state presents awards to the most talented and promising university graduates: A-students, winners of international competitions, fellows of the special fund of the president. Honoring the best graduates of the country: Our traditions in BelTA's archival photos.
