On September 26, 2026, representatives of AKZ had the honor of representing the association at the first international conference of chivalric lineages, “Honor@Peace,” held in Bled, Slovenia.

The event took place under the patronage of His Imperial and Royal Highness, Archduke of Austria and Prince of Tuscany, Sándor Habsburg-Lothringen, who lent a distinct symbolic and historical significance to the conference.

Distinguished guests included the President of the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia, Mr. Marko Lotrič, and the Minister of Local Self-Government, Cohesion and Regional Development of the Republic of Slovenia, Ms. Monika Kirbiš Rojs.

It was gratifying to see representatives from various ministries in attendance, as the conference addressed a range of complex and pressing issues.

A highlight of the event was a presentation by Ms. Sonja Sofia Bercko-Eisenreich, President of the human resources development organization “INTEGRA.” She discussed the “Tip4kids” project—in which members of AKZ participated—focused on supporting children who have experienced traumatic events and exhibit symptoms of PTSD. The presentation was titled “Europe’s Invisible Traumas.”

As a special gesture of respect toward Ukraine, the organizers—at our request—included unscheduled information regarding the situation in the Ukrainian town of Oleshky.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the conference organizers for the invitation and for highlighting a topic of such vital importance to Europe! We look forward to continued fruitful cooperation.
