Since the Berlin Security Conference (BSC) is a major European and transatlantic event, Behörden Spiegel decided to invite prominent personalities from EU, NATO and selected nations to support the congress. These Board Members give advice to the organizer, e.g., with regard to the subject of the programme and national / international speakers. Their portraits on the front page of the programme are pointing out that BSC is an international congress supported by high-ranking Europeans.
It is of great importance that one of the Board Members accompanies BSC as Congress President. Dr Karl von Wogau, former Chairman of the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Security and Defence, was the first Congress President, followed by Robert Walter, former President of the WEU and at present President ESDA. Jiří Šedivý, today Chief Executive European Defence Agency (EDA), was the third Congress President, followed by Professor Ioan Mircea Paşcu, former Vice-President of the European Parliament and Dr Hans -Gert Pöttering, former President of the European Parliament and later President of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. The Congress President of BSC 2023 is Wolfgang Hellmich, Member of German Parliament and former Chairman of the Defence Committee of the German Bundestag.
