The Prime Minister spoke on the subject of 'Slovakia in the 21st Century'. He looked back to 1989, reflected critically as well as positively on the ensuing 20 years, and spoke optimistically about Slovakia's future. He answered searching questions afterwards from the audience.

The event formed the inaugural ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº-BACEE lecture. BACEE was a Foreign and Commonwealth Office non-departmental public body founded to keep channels open to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe by organising conferences and seminars.

Since the enlargement of the EU, which essentially fulfilled BACEE's mission, its Chairman, Lord Radice, approached ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº SSEES with the proposal to continue BACEE's mission through an annual high-profile lecture at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº.
