National Council President Martin Candinas (centre/GR) opened proceedings before handing his chairman's bell to the comedian duo "Gilbert & Oleg". From then on, they led the event as“moderators”.
In addition to all federal Council members, representatives of cantonal governments and ambassadors from neighboring countries also attended the ceremony, as the parliamentary services announced. The President of the Federal Court was also there.
