5.4.2 Communication measures by Liechtenstein
In the phase from 18. — 29.02.2008, the Government Spokesperson's Office attaches particular
importance to strengthening the reputation of the Principality by communicating the factually
secured core messages. The goal was to emphasize the separation of powers in Liechtenstein
to the international media, to emphasize the progressive nature of the measures taken, to
illuminate the status of the international negotiations, and thus to elucidate the State's
sovereignty.
