Both speakers will start with personal reflections that will be followed by a debate about the relevance of this date\/event today.<\/p>\n The format aims to highlight selected key events in 1989 by way of personal recollections and to examine their significance for current developments. The format focusses on eight selected dates\/events of the year 1989, deliberately excluding the Fall of the Berlin Wall as this event retrospectively overshadows all others, which were not any less meaningful for later developments.<\/p>\n 9:30-10:15 Hungary\/Austria 10:30-11:15 Yugoslavia 11:30 \u2013 12:15 Poland 13:30 \u2013 14:15 USSR\/ Ukraine 14:30-15:15 Germany\/Czechoslovakia 15:30 \u2013 16:15 Bulgaria 16:30-17:15 Czechoslovakia 17:30 \u2013 18:15 Romania <\/p>\n
