Upon the invitation from Izmit City Mayor, Nis City delegation attended the celebration of Edict of Nicomedia 1700th anniversary. The celebration in Izmit is final event within the project Art Carnuntum Cities of Tolerance Project. Project Art Carnuntum Cities of Tolerance gives for the first time insight into the dimensions of the new order and the results of the historic events that took place at Carnuntum and changed the world and culture forever. In the name of the Four Tetrarchs appointed in Carnuntum, Galerius issued the Nicomedia Edict of Tolerance (today the City of Izmit) in 311 AD, which was extended by Constantine the Great and Licinius through the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, thus granting religious liberty to all creeds.
