Sorry if you receive this message more than once.

We are pleased to announce that a new web site has been created,
informing about the meetings and publications of young Slavists,
JungslavistInnen, in the German-speaking countries. Those interested
are invited to visit the site at the following URL:

http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/uni/nss/jungslav/slavhome.html

This is the English version of the homepage as well as a link to the
German version which can be accessed separately as follows:

Please spread the word. We encourage you to create links between our
homepage and any other related ones.
