During the ceremony at the Bernauer Strasse Berlin Wall Memorial, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany commended the Eastern European neighbours for enabling a peaceful revolution. The ceremony was attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and presidents of Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
