SIMFEROPOL (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th October, 2021) A delegation from the southwestern German city of Heidelberg, a major research hub, will come to Crimea's main city of Simferopol later this month, a senior Crimean lawmaker told Sputnik.

"We are expecting a delegation from Heidelberg," Yuri Gempel, the head of the international relations committee in Crimean parliament, said.
