I am very glad to see that there is such a beautiful and well-visited forum dealing with our common history.
Please excuse my writing in English, but unfortunately I can only understand a few Polish words an am not able to communicate in your language.
Yet, I would like to draw your attention to a project that may be of interest to some of you:
Here in Austria we have founded an organization aiming at a Central European reunion" under the Habsburg crown. You can find additional information on our website http://sga.monarchisten.org/ or join the discussion on our forum http://28875.forendienst.de/index.php
Well, congratulations, Mr Palacky! "Schwarz-Gelbe Allianz" is a really glorious idea! I say it, because I'm Polishman, but I'm also K. u. K. loyalist, monarchist and quite antidemocratic too. I wish you will have a great success!

Dear CK Tiger!
I am replying instead of my friend Palacky. I am also a member of "Schwarz-Gelbe Allianz".
We are truly delighted to see in you a Polish k.u.k. Loyalist and Monarchist! Was it not this great Pope, your countryman, John Paul II, who urged us on his first visit to Vienna in 1983 (!) at the occasion of the "Europa-Vesper"-Mass in front of the Hofburg not to forget the Europe behind the former Iron Curtain, but to work for Re-Unification! This is what "Schwarz-Gelbe Allianz" is all about.
We work for the Confederation of Central Europe, broadly within the borders of the Danube Monarchy, under a Habsburg Monarch, the Abolition of the "Habsburg-Laws" in the Austrian Constitution and the Restauration of a Parliamentary Monarchy.
We are fully aware that the long years of separation of all the people of the Danube Monarchy caused by the results of World War I and the following political upheaval and indoctrination through National Socialism and Communism still cast a great shadow over our people, which we strive to remove!
HIRH Archduke Otto von Habsburg coined the phrase:"What belongs together, grows together!" With God's help and the dedicated support through people like you, the process of growing together will continue!
Boże wspieraj, Boże ochroń
Nam Cesarza i nasz kraj,
Tarczą wiary rządy osłoń,
Państwu Jego siłę daj.
Brońmy wiernie Jego tronu,
Zwróćmy wszelki wroga cios,
Bo z Habsburgów tronem złączon
Jest na wieki Austrii los.
With God's help and the dedicated support through people like you, the process of growing together will continue!
Thank you!
But there is one important thing: on the map, which i could saw [URL="http://sga.monarchisten.org/english_centraleurope.html"]here[/URL], our Galizien (and Siebenburgen, and Sud Tirol, and Vojvodina...) are out of the federation! I think it would be better, if Polish and Ukrainian Galizien, Romanian Siebenbuergen etc. will be a kind of territory under government of their countries, but having some privileges and special law as a part of our Neue Donaumonarchie!
So, I hope that you will realize your wonderful ideas!

I am fully aware about these discrepancies: Without exposing ourselves to the accusation by our opponents of either imperialism or revisionism, we can only "talk" to and therefore include in our plans nation-states, within their CURRENT borders, who historically were part of Austria-Hungary.
Of course, we have not forgotten South Tyrol, who, although on Italian territory IS an integral part of North- and East Tyrol and therefore of Austria.
It is more difficult FOR US to deal, without stirring up unnecessary nationalistic fervour, with entities like Siebenbürgen, for instance, who are now part of Romania, even though it belonged to the Crown of Saint Stephen, which makes it a Hungarian problem!
Also, the Republic of Poland has never been part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire apart from Galizien. The same applies to modern day Ukraine.
I can't see, how for instance, Polish Galicia could form a territory with the aforementioned regions, without endangering the unity of present day Poland? But you may have thought about it.
On the other hand, WE ARE ALL PART OF CENTRAL and EASTERN EUROPE (CEE), and with a bit of political imagination, these problems could with time be overcome.
Important is that we foster mutual understanding and revive the long lost spirit of the Empire!
