Max van der Stoel award 2009

The Dutch Minister for European Affairs, Frans Timmermans, presented the 2009 Max van der Stoel Award to the Integration and Development Centre for Information and Research (IDC), a non-governmental organization from Crimea on 14 October 2009.

An international jury led by the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities, Knut Vollebaek, recognized the IDC for "its efforts to promote tolerance and understanding among the multi-ethnic population of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and to facilitate genuine integration and participation of all ethnic communities".
