Summary/Abstract: Dear conference participants, I would like to start the final panel, which should comprise an overview of everything that has happened at our conference entitled Crimes of the Communist Regimes, which we have jointly dedicated ourselves to over the course of three days. At the same time, I would like to outline some steps to be taken in the future. I perceive this international conference on the most serious subject from our recent past, which constantly affects us in this geopolitical area, to be the culmination of the activity of our Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes thus far. I can say that our involvement in work on an international level, as anticipated by our law, has been successful and has smoothly continued on from the activity of the Slovenian presidency. This is where the hearing at the Council of Europe was which has already been mentioned several times. We have followed up on this, strengthened by our own initiating source, the Prague Declaration from the summer of 2008.
