The topic of the working meeting was the setup of the exhibition "Beyond Yesterday" by Romanian professor and anthropologist Constantin D. Constantin from the University of Bucharest, which will be hosted in Skopje by the State Archives. The exhibition is the result of Professor Constantin’s research mission through villages in the Balkans, following the research paths of the Manaki brothers. The exhibition also features photographs from the "Manaki Brothers" collection, which is housed in the State Archives – Bitola Department. The State Archives and the Romanian Embassy are jointly organizing the event in cooperation with the National Gallery.
