Times change fast and perspectives tend to become speculations.
Still: We are looking forward towards the future with curiosity, realism (we hope) and optimism. Town twinning is the encounter of people, and it becomes tangible in people-to-people projects, but also  increasingly in the cooperation of institutions.
In the course of changing social, political and economic conditions requirements for us are changing as well. How? No one can tell. But we can try to react flexibly, to look for paths and possibilities and face the challenges awaiting us as long as we remain true to our conviction that a unified, strong and democratic Europe is worth fighting for.
