The curtain has fallen - successful border crossers
30 years of the opening of the Iron Curtain
The fall of the Iron Curtain 30 years ago opened up new opportunities for cross-border cooperation. In just one generation, the former border became unthinkable. Now the focus is on shaping the common living and economic space. Looking back, we have already achieved a lot, but the journey is not over yet. That is why we are bringing successful cross-border commuters to the forefront at this event.
