Josip Brki\u0107, will give a keynote speech entitled \u2018The significance of South-East Europe for the European Union\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>South-East Europe is not the periphery of the European continent, but rather an integral and historically deeply rooted part of it. For centuries, the region has been shaped by encounters and interactions of European civilisations, cultures, religions, and political ideas. Classical heritage, Roman law, Christianity, humanism, the Enlightenment, Islam and modern European ideas have created social and institutional structures comparable to those in other parts of Europe, thus confirming its enduring connection to the European sphere of civilisation. Furthermore, in addition to its historical and cultural significance, South-East Europe also possesses considerable economic and strategic potential. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For all these reasons, the analyses and insights of our distinguished guest are of particular interest to us as the European Order of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Therefore, this event <strong>will also be streamed online<\/strong> for our members in Central Europe and throughout Europe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Following the lecture and discussion, we invite to a champagne reception<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Contact person: Chancellor\u00b4s office<br>Registration to <a href=\"mailto:kanzleramt@georgsorden.eu\">kanzleramt@georgsorden.eu<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"01-2026-Ordenskonvent\">Order Convent<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>23 &#8211; 25 April 2026<\/strong><br>Rome, Italy<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This year&#8217;s Order Convent in Rome will be a highlight in the history of our Order.
