Prague, November 9-12, 2005 - We, Members of the Club de Madrid, all

the post-communist transitions sixteen years after the fall of the Berlin
Wall and to consider next steps for advancing our common agenda to promote
democracy that delivers.  Drawing on our personal experiences as political
leaders and the insights of experts in the field of democracy promotion, we

offer practical recommendations to advance the process of democratization
