About the Organisation

Yesterday the city of Storkow was preparing for the 9th Annual ESCO conference 2009 (18.-21.IX.2009). Before the Town Hall of Storkow were waving the flag of Europe, Germany and the ESCO. In the meeting room were table flags on the tables. In addition to the table flag of the state (national flags) was a table flag with the emblem of the city (provisional flags; similar: http://www.storkcity.org/assets/images/080923_moldova_03.jpg.)
