Last week, President Brunner made an official visit to the ecumenical Community of Taizé in Burgundy, France. While representing Pannonia in the international environment, Brunner has attended several meetings, which he considers useful in terms of the maintainance of his micronational ideology. "This week shall be described as the path to a new beginning", he said. Further information regarding how the experience at the religious community has benefitted him has not been published, although some believe that Brunner has gained an interest in claiming French territory.
