The 54th anniversary of the Elysee Agreement was celebrated in the Goethe Institute in Belgrade. The anniversary was marked by a ceremony during which the French and German ambassadors H. E. Christine Moro and H. E. Axel Dittmann expressed their hopes that the pessimism and hate would disappear from the Balkans as they did from the Western Europe.
The new development was the new Office RYCO, starting from mid-2017. RYCO was created on the model of Franco-German Office for Youth incurred within the Elysee treaty which was confirmed on 22 January 1963 Franco-German reconciliation among Serbia, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, AP Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro.
