Grandson of last Austrian emperor attends centennial of Archduke Ferdinand's assassination 

(27 Jun 2014) The grandson of last Austrian emperor Karl Von Habsburg arrived in Sarajevo on Friday to attend the centennial ceremony of the assassination of his relative Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Karl von Habsburg, a descendant of the Austrian royal family, is a dedicated pro-European activist and the president of the Austrian pan-European movement.
Habsburg is also a prominent lobbyist for a united Europe, and chaired a conference on Bosnia's EU integration that was held in Sarajevo on Friday.
Von Habsburg said that today's Europe Union is a direct product of the lessons learned from the First and Second World Wars.
"What came out of it was a united Europe, which is the biggest peace project we had on this continent, at least for some part of Europe," he said.
Commenting about the prospect of Bosnia joining the European Union, von Habsburg, who is himself a former European parliament MP, said: "Europe will never be complete also without Bosnia."
