AfD, BSW and Putin unwelcome at Munich Security Conference. Two are unwanted this time, as are the governments of two countries.

Around 50 heads of state and government as well as around 100 ministers are expected to attend the conference at the Munich Hotel Bayerischer Hof this year. As was the case last year, Russia and Iran are not invited to the conference. The conference is the world's most important meeting of politicians and experts on security policy. It takes place from February 16th to 18th.
