Dear sirs,
A problem occured during my application to this seminar. The E-mail (roman.kuhar@mirovni‐institut.si) written on its official web-site is not valid. It just cannot be recognized.
I don't know what I should do, because there are no other contacts included.
Looking forward to your reply!
Hello,
could it be because there is an unintentionally left double space before the address on our webpage? I have already corrected it and I hope that will help, as there is no other contact.
I apologize for the inconveniences caused by this typo.
Best,
