Interpretation

My bear displays the Hungarian national colours: red, white and green.

The bears in Berlin represent the countries taking part - and their cultures. The Hungarian and German culture were never really that far apart and seem to be growing closer than ever before. But even if we become closer ideologically, our flags will always remain different.
