From 4 to 6 December, Filozofická fakulta Univerzity Karlovy hosted the 19th edition of the COYS – Konference mladých slavistů, held this year under the title “Power of Word: Narratives, Ideologies, and Truth in the Societies of Slavic Countries”.
The conference brought together 30 participants from across Europe, who presented engaging papers on historical, literary, and linguistic topics. Each year, interest in the conference continues to grow, and we can now proudly say that our conference has firmly established itself as one of the key events not only at the Department of East European Studies but also at the Faculty of Arts.
As organizers, we greatly appreciate the strong interest and support we receive, and we look forward to welcoming participants to the upcoming jubilee 20th edition! 
On behalf of the entire organizing team, we would like to thank above all the participants, as well as the Faculty of Arts of Charles University and our partners: the Czech Society for Slavonic, Balkan and Byzantine Studies, and the Boris Nemtsov Academic Center.
