Your Serene Highness, the <strong>Principality</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Liechtenstein</strong> is marking<br />

its <strong>300</strong> th anniversary. What<br />

are your feelings about this?<br />

I am absolutely delighted that<br />

we have been able to survive<br />

<strong>300</strong> <strong>years</strong> at the centre <strong>of</strong> this<br />

troubled continent. <strong>300</strong> <strong>years</strong> ago<br />

we were a member <strong>of</strong> the Holy<br />

Roman Empire <strong>of</strong> the German<br />

Nation, which consisted <strong>of</strong> a very<br />

large number <strong>of</strong> small states.<br />

While many <strong>of</strong> the former member<br />

states have now disappeared,<br />

we somehow survived, with a<br />

great deal <strong>of</strong> good fortune.<br />

JOYOUS OCCASION<br />

H.S.H. Prince Hans-Adam <strong>of</strong> <strong>Liechtenstein</strong><br />

is greatly looking forward to celebrating the<br />

anniversary.<br />
