Laudis et Honoris Signum

Many years of commitment and collaboration convinced us to take a significant and relevant step that has no equal as for its importance in the whole Central-European area, at least not after 1918. We decided to establish an international award to reward those who have distinguished themselves due to outstanding activities in favor of a renewed brotherhood between the numerous small nations that make up that magnificent and exemplary European “mosaic” called Central Europe or Mitteleuropa.

The award “Laudis et Honoris Signum” consists of a precious decoration in silver and gold and is accompanied by a parchment with the inscription in Latin – a language that still distinguishes the official documents in our countries. This is intended to be the highest international recognition that our Association bestows to distinguished personalities who have acquired high and particular merits in favor of the Central-European supranational ideal in specific fields of expertise (art, economics, music, politics, diplomacy, literature and poetry, humanitarian actions, etc.) according to the inspiring principles of our statute, fostering strong cooperation and cohesion among the peoples of Central Europe.
