In Memoriam
18 December 2011 NewsStatement by Foreign Minister Nickolay Mladenov on the death of Václav Havel
“Today a symbol of freedom has passed from the world. For us, the people of Central and Eastern Europe, no one other has in such a manner showed us the way to democracy and given us such sound arguments in the fight against totalitarianism. Although now one of the brightest minds of our time is gone, his intellectual legacy remains to us. His memory shines bright!”
