Swedish Presidency EU - Speech by Carl Bildt at Sopron, Hungary

Swedish Presidency EU - Speech by Carl Bildt at Sopron, Hungary: "It was in 1989 that the new future of Europe really started.

What happened right here – on these very fields - was a central part of that European revolution of freedom, democracy and coming together that continues to shape our part of the world and inspire so many other parts of it.

I have my own memories of crossing – privileged with a Western passport – through the gates of the Iron Curtain right here in Sopron years before the revolutions of 1989."
