In honour of 100 years since the end of the First World War, historian Danilo Sarenac from the Serbian Institute for Contemporary History made an occasional presentation "Destruction. Liberation. Unification. Kingdom of Serbia in 1918", at the University of Turku.

The lecture was held on 29 November 2018 in the context of a seminar "The Meaning of 1918", organized at the initiative of the Polish Embassy and sponsored by the University of Turku, the French Institute in Helsinki, the Hungarian Cultural and Science Centre, the Italian Cultural Institute and the Embassies of Poland, Germany, United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, Croatia, Romania and Serbia.



At the same time, the University hosted an exhibition of posters from 12 European countries (Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Italy, Germany, UK, France and Greece) created in World War I, which had already been mounted at the Europe Hall in Helsinki in early October.

The exhibition included two American posters with appeals "Save Serbia, Our Ally" and "Serbia Needs Your Help", and a Greek poster dedicated to Serbia "The Brotherhood of Greece and Serbia" depicting a Greek and a Serbian solider shaking hands at the Salonica Front.
