The program Beletrina proposes comprises 6 books by renowned authors; 4 of them will be translated from the original languages into Slovene and the other 2 from Slovene into English. In this way, Beletrina wishes to establish a direct two-way relationship between the so-called major and minor used languages, which will also be emphasized in the PR strategies. The fundamental criteria of Beletrina´s selection are artistic excellence and topical relevance. As for the literary value, all these books have been appreciated by the public and the critics both in their time and today. (Source: EAC. See more: first year, second year.)
