| Abstract | place from November 28 to 30, 2004, at the Marriott Hotel in Vienna and covered the topic South Eastern EUROPEAN Challenges and Prospects. Ever since the fall of the Berlin Wall 15 years ago, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) has been following the transition process very closely. One of the OeNB s major activities in this respect has been to host the East-West Conference on an annual basis. With the accession of ten new member countries to the European Union on May 1, 2004, a pivotal step was made to permanently close the divide that used to run across our continent. To mirror this historic change and to reflect the growing together of Europe, the OeNB decided to change the name of the East-West Conference to Conference on European Economic Integration. The 2004 conference was the first to take place under the new name. At the welcome reception on the eve of the conference, OeNB Executive Director Josef Christl explained that this year s topic — South Eastern EUROPEAN Challenges and Prospects — was chosen because this part of Europe (comprising, from the OeNB s perspective, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Romania, and Serbia and Montenegro) has become a new focus of both regional growth and European integration. Writing EUROPEAN in capital letters reflects this double focus in a nutshell, showing that the OeNB has extended the geographical focus of its economic research to comprise this region of Europe, too. |
