Meier and mayors of local municipalities staged the meeting celebrating the 25th anniversary of cutting the wire across the Iron Curtain. They met at the Memorial to the Removal of Iron Curtain near the Rozvadov border crossing where former Czechoslovak and German foreign ministers, Jiri Dienstbier and Hans-Dietrich Genscher, symbolically cut the wires that separated the Czech and German sections of the borderland since the 1950s 25 years ago.
