The regional history of the Roma living in the village of Brekov is the subject of audio recordings that DICRK obtained free of charge from researcher Elena Cinová. Her research project called Brekov Roma in the Flow of Time was supported in 2020 by the Fund for the Support of the Culture of National Minorities. Guided interviews are in Slovak and bring closer the life and culture of the Roma and their perception of social change in the region.
