Dear Mr. Benedek,

thanks for this, for this type of, clarification - using only
formalities like "Also other concepts dear to others were not or only
partly included."

I cannot easily imagine what kind of "other concept" of a similar
importance and weight could be lined up with "democracy." I would
appreciate it if you, as a participant in this UNESCO conference, could
share some of these "other concepts" which were also not, or only
partially, included.

Thanks in advance,

Norbert Klein
