Budapest, June 25 (MTI) - Hungary's opening up its borders in 1989 led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and to the re-unification of Germany and of Europe, German Ambassador to Hungary Dorothee Janetzke-Wenzel said in Budapest on Thursday.
The ambassador spoke at the opening ceremony of a series of commemorations organised by the foreign ministries of Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland.
As part of the programme, a photo exhibition opened in front of Budapest's City Hall, depicting major events of 1989: the Round Table of Poland, Hungary's opening its border with Austria, the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia and the exodus of East Germans. The exhibition is accompanied by film-shows, round table discussions, concerts and theatrical performances.
