A Rusyn competition on Radio Slovakia International

Slovakia's Carpatho-Rusyn minority is the subject of a question in Radio Slovakia International's latest listener competion.

The competition features a monthly question concerning one of the country's minority groups.

The January question: "In which year did the Rusyns in Slovakia get the official status of an ethnic minority?"

Answers are accepted until Jan. 27 at englishsection@slovakradio.sk or by regular mail to Radio Slovakia International, Mytna 1, PO Box 55, 817 55 Bratislava, Slovakia.

The winner of the competition -- which runs until July -- gets a week-long stay for two at the water park in Poprad in Vysoke Tatry. (You'll have to get to Slovakia on your own, though).
