From a Student to a Participant in a Diplomatic Meeting at the Presidential Level
22 May 2025
The intersection of dreams and perseverance gives birth to real success stories.
One of our students, Shakhrier Iskhakov from Uzbekistan, has become a living proof of how education can open doors to the highest level of international interaction.
Last year, Shakhrier entered the University of Ljubljana with the assistance of our team and began to study the Slovenian language at our language school — from zero to B1 level. In a short time, he managed not only to master the language, but also to become a truly integrated participant in the academic and public environment of Slovenia.
On 22 May 2025, Shakhrier found himself at the centre of an important international event — the meeting of the Presidents of Uzbekistan and Slovenia. Thanks to his knowledge of the Slovenian language, he functioned as an intermediary in communication between the leaders of the two countries.
This became not only a personal achievement but also a symbol of how much education can influence your destiny.
During the meeting, the President of Uzbekistan had a personal conversation with Shakhrier, expressing gratitude for his desire for knowledge and the intention to develop projects in the field of artificial intelligence after returning home.
The President’s words were an inspiring message:
“You will become that bridge which will connect the great results achieved here with our people.”
We are proud of Shakhrier and excited to be a part of his life experience. His story is a reminder that even the first step in learning a language can lead to a dialogue at the highest level.
