Life in Timisoara as well as around the world has slowed down considerably. This is where the severity of the pandemic began to emerge on March 11, when all the faculties and other institutions were closed - the story of the Victory of the student of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management in Kotor, Ivanka Simonovic, who has been staying in this Romanian city for two months within Erasmus student exchange programs.
