popovskikandClaude Opus 4.8 f5dfd8830e Hub redesign, per-language logos, partner carousel, footer + menu fixes
MSOS Hub page:
- "What you can do here": Porsche-style vertical image cards in a
  continuous auto-scrolling marquee with edge fades (real photos placeholders)
- "A glimpse of the space": full-bleed band of 4 connected photos
- "A space we built together": full-bleed image banner with blue gradient overlay
- "Made possible by": partner logo tiles (Cultural Association + Ministry);
  processed Ministry + Cultural Association logos from source art
- Copy/spacing polish; removed em-dashes; larger section spacing; deeper
  final-CTA gradient so it no longer blends into the footer

Branding / partners:
- Per-language MSOS logos (SVG) in header + footer across all pages
- Partner carousel: added Ministry (wide variant), Cultural Association,
  Embassy of North Macedonia, and Spletni Mojster (width-capped); de-duplicated
  logos within each marquee group so new logos appear sooner

Footer:
- Build credit line (Spletni Mojster + Kristijan), clean centered text
- Synced MK/SI footers to EN (added missing About us + Timeline links)

Landing page:
- FAQ short CTA already avatar design (FAQ page kept its Email/Viber block)
- Swapped blurry stock video thumbnail for the real team photo
- Removed the intentional hero-background blur

Navigation:
- Mobile menu: use 100dvh so the language selector is reachable with submenus open
- Desktop: dropdown parents no longer navigate to dead "/#" links

Language suggestion banner:
- Dismissible, browser-language based banner suggesting the matching locale;
  remembers choice in localStorage and waits for the cookie-consent choice
  to avoid overlapping the consent card

Removed stale *.html.bak backup files.

<h2>Three months before</h2>
<ul class="guide-checklist">
<li>Confirm admission pathway.</li>
<li>Begin residence planning.</li>
<li>Search accommodation.</li>
<li>Check passport.</li>
<li>Request RM/SI 3.</li>
<li>Obtain residence documents.</li>
<li>Translate documents.</li>
<li>Prepare a budget.</li>
</ul>
<h2>One month before</h2>
<ul class="guide-checklist">
<li>Confirm move-in.</li>
<li>Buy a flexible travel ticket.</li>
<li>Arrange transition insurance.</li>
<li>Collect medication.</li>
<li>Download official decisions.</li>
<li>Store documents offline.</li>
<li>Confirm arrival with the faculty.</li>
<li>Plan transport from arrival point to accommodation.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Hand-luggage documents</h2>
<ul class="guide-checklist">
<li>Passport</li>
<li>Admission decision</li>
<li>Certificate of enrolment if available</li>
<li>Residence evidence</li>
<li>RM/SI 3</li>
<li>Accommodation contract</li>
<li>Criminal-record certificate and translations if still needed</li>
<li>Education originals</li>
<li>Medical documentation</li>
<li>Emergency contacts</li>
</ul>
<h2>Transport options</h2>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Bus</h3>
<p>Often direct or one-connection. Verify current operator, border route, baggage allowance, and arrival time.</p>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Car</h3>
<p>Check insurance, registration, road tolls, parking, winter equipment, and how long a foreign-registered vehicle may be used in your circumstances.</p>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Plane</h3>
<p>Possible arrival airports include Ljubljana, Zagreb, Trieste, Venice, Graz, or Vienna. The useful airport depends on whether you study in Ljubljana, Maribor, Primorska, Nova Gorica, or Celje.</p>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Train</h3>
<p>Rail may work as part of a route but often requires connections from Macedonia. Always use official operator links for live schedules.</p>
<h2>Detailed packing list</h2>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Documents</h3>
<p>Keep passport, admission, enrolment, residence, insurance, accommodation, education, and medical documents in one accessible folder. Carry originals in hand luggage.</p>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Study and electronics</h3>
<ul class="guide-checklist">
<li>Laptop and charger</li>
<li>Headphones</li>
<li>Extension lead</li>
<li>Desk lamp where needed</li>
<li>Notebook and pens</li>
<li>Programme-specific equipment</li>
<li>Ethernet cable if the accommodation has no reliable Wi-Fi</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Clothing</h3>
<p>Bring practical seasonal layers, waterproof shoes, winter clothing, and a small number of formal items. Coastal weather and continental winters differ, so pack for the actual city.</p>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Room and kitchen</h3>
<p>Before packing, ask which items are already provided: bed size, bedding, towels, hangers, cooking equipment, dishes and cutlery, laundry facilities, and cleaning supplies. Coordinate larger shared items with roommates.</p>
<h3 class="guide-substage">Health and small repairs</h3>
<p>Bring personal medication, prescriptions, a short medical summary, plasters, and basic first aid. A compact sewing kit and basic screwdriver can be useful; follow dormitory rules before using tools, candles, or extra electrical devices.</p>
