WĘDRYNIA:
THEY’VE PUBLISHED A BILINGUAL MUNICIPAL CHRONICLE. WHO’S NEXT?
For just
under a month now, Wędrynia has been able to boast its own bilingual
Polish-Czech municipal chronicle. The publication was created on the initiative
of the municipal committee for national minorities in response to the
long-standing expectations of local Poles. Its creators emphasize that the
chronicle is intended to be a lasting testament to the municipality’s bilingual
character and an inspiration for other towns in Zaolzie.
