Five Korean girls in their school uniforms and accompanied by their mothers have accepted the Czech ambassador´s invitation for a cake to Seoul´s Castle Praha (www.castlepraha.co.kr) for an awarding ceremony and presentation of diplomas of 36th Lidice International Children´s Exhibition of Fine Arts.
