“Come to our country and enjoy discovering it; come and let’s build together human works like the precious stones of a mosaic, a promise of a livable future that reflects the harmony of labor, of the nature of man and his communities. We will build this mosaic with confidence, love, hope and optimism at the dawn of the third millennium, here in Hungary, in Europe and in the world.”
Peter Szendrö, Rector of St-Etienne University.
