We invite you to take part in a discussion on the Yalta Conference in 1945 and its legacy sixty years later. Our distinguished panelists will examine the impact of the Tripartite Meeting from an Eastern European perspective. The dramatic recent developments in Eastern Europe - Polish,Czech and Baltic membership in the EC and NATO; Orange Revolution in Ukraine; an evolving relation and a new sense of cooperation between Russia and a newly enlarged EC - shed new light on the historic meeting in Crimea when the prospect of a Europe free from Nazi tyranny was in sight. Please stay for wine and hors d'oeuvres and a chance to meet our panelists and other distinguished guests.
