Institute office closed 17.10.2023

Oct 17, 2023 | News

The government asks that unnecessary travel to/in Brussels be avoided, therefore our office will be closed today. You can always contact us via phone or email.

Our deepest condolences to the Swedish community.

De belgiska myndigheterna uppmanar alla i Bryssel att undvika resor till och inom staden. Därmed är institutet idag stängt, men vi är nåbara på telefon och per epost.

Vi deltar i den svenska befolkningens sorg med värme.
