History

The 1974 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party. [1] As a result, the Alfred Hilbe cabinet was dissolved with Walter Kieber succeeding Alfred Hilbe as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein. [2] [3]

In 1975, Kieber was a signatory of the Helsinki Accords to create the Conference for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the precursor of today's OSCE. [4] The government also oversaw Liechtenstein's full ascension into the Council of Europe in 1978. [5]

The 1978 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union and as a result the cabinet was dissolved and succeeded by Hans Brunhart as prime minister in the First Hans Brunhart cabinet. [2] [3] [6]
