> After the era of radical changes and of new-orientation in Middle- and
> Eastern Europe has ended, it is now also up to Western Europe to support
> these countries in their integration efforts an to help them connect to
the
> world community. Only by these means Democracy and wealth can sustainably

> Company. This enables the candidates to learn and aknowledge the Swiss
> culture, way-of-life and business.

> All costs of the program except the travel to and from Switzerland are
> carried by scholarships, which also means that the financial background of
> the candidates does not matter.
