Between the 12th and the 15th of March 2009, The National Book Centre of the Romanian Cultural Institute will be attending the Leipzig Book Fair with a stand of its own.
After attending the book fair in Vienna in November 2008, it is the second time that The National Book Centre of the Romanian Cultural Institute is attending an international book fair with a stand of its own, the surface rented being of 9 m2.
