Miss Europe 1997
The 1997 Miss Europe competition was the forty-first since 1948 organized by the Mondial Events Organization (MEO). It was founded by the French Roger Zeiler and Claude Berr, was based in Paris and arranged the competition until 2002.
The candidates had been selected in their countries of origin by national organizing committees that had concluded license agreements with MEO. It does not always have to be the first place in your national competition.
Miss Europe 1997/98
The event took place on September 6, 1997 in the Palace of Arts in the Ukrainian capital Kiev . There were 39 applicants. In the following year 1998 the competition was canceled. This is why MEO subsequently referred to him and the winner as "Miss Europe 1997/98".
Ten (mostly Northern European) candidates left the competition on September 3rd and complained about harassment and threats. In fact, only 29 applicants took part in the competition.
