History

October 1993 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union. [1] As a result, the Markus Büchel cabinet was dissolved with Mario Frick succeeding Markus Büchel as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein. [2] [3] He became Europe's youngest head of government at the time at 28 years old. [4]

During the government's term, Liechtenstein entered the European Economic Area after a successful referendum in 1995, and also joined the World Trade Organization the same year. [5] [6] However, it also faced problems in its foreign relations, such as a dispute with the Czech Republic begun in 1992 over the confiscation of Princely properties estates in 1945.

The 1997 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union. [7] As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and succeeded by the Second Mario Frick cabinet. [2] [8]
