On 2 - 4 July 2010, the city of Krakow hosted a very prestigious event - celebrations
of the 10th anniversary of the Community of Democracies. On this occasion, a meeting
took place, with the participation of more than 100 foreign ministers invited by the
Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs. The event participants represented also the world
of politics, non-governmental organizations, democratic leaders, scientists, business,
and mass media from all over the world. The Krakow's meeting was special since it
hosted more than 200 people actively working for the promotion of democracy.

The discussion panels and conferences took place in the Krakow Opera building
and in J. S?owacki Theatre. During the conference at the theatre, the Cuban
dissident, rev. José Conrado Rodriguez who works in one of the poorest
parishes of Santiago de Cuba, was awarded with the Bronislaw Geremek's Distinction.
The list of invited guests included, inter alia, US Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, President of the
European Parliament Jerzy Buzek, India Minister of Foreign Affairs S.M. Krishna,
Mali Minister of Foreign Affairs M. Moctar Ouane, German Minister of Foreign
Affairs Guido Westerwelle, and former President of Poland - Lech Walesa.
Participants discussed major problems that today's democracy has to face.
The conference included panel discussions, which dealt with the following
issues: challenges to democracy in the context of global financial crisis,
the role of democratic activists in the contemporary world, the importance
of modern technology as an opportunity for the development of democracy, and the
role of women in building democracy. It was precisely the need for democracy and
the role of women that were the subjects of Yulia Tymoshenko, Jolanta Kwasniewska
and Nimalka Fernando's lectures at the Krakow Opera.
We are proud that it was LIDEX that was chosen to provide language support
during this prestigious event. It was a big challenge that required experience
and commitment. During the celebrations, we coordinated the work of 22 translators
in English, Russian, French, and Spanish.
