A peaceful revolution is possible. The fall of the Berlin Wall, 36 years ago today, proved it — courage and the desire for freedom brought down oppression and built the path to a united, free Europe.
Freedom isn’t guaranteed. We must stand up for it — then and now, everywhere. #WeInvestInFreedom

Germany was once divided, but today we celebrate Germany's reunification.
In 1989, peaceful protests in the GDR sparked off a revolution – without violence. One year later, in 1990: reunification. A turning point for Europe, made possible through courage and diplomacy.

Two years since the terrible Banjska attack and yet, the self-confessed leader of the attack, Radoičić, continues to live freely in Serbia.
Despite various assurances that the perpetrators will be held accountable, still no justice has been served.
