Central Europe is our past and our future

Our exhibition on Otto von Habsburg opened on 19 April at the Regional Museum of Celje. In the 1980s, our namesake was an important supporter of Slovenia’s independence and later its accession to the European Union. His dynastic legacy gave him a responsibility to create a Central European community at the heart of Europe, and remains a message that we must build Central Europe together: by finding the points that connect us.
