We participate in the Polish Presidency.


At the beginning of July, Poland took over the Presidency of the European Union. The formal inauguration ceremony was held at the Polish Parliament and at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. In the evening, the Polish and the Hungarian Prime Ministers, as well as the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, and the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, delivered official speeches during a Gala organized in the Grand Theatre in Warsaw.
We are proud of the fact that we could participate in these two key events of the Presidency. LIDEX provided language services (interpreting) during all meetings and talks which took place at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

During the inauguration ceremony held in the Grand Theatre, LIDEX provided both (English and Hungarian) interpreters and simultaneous interpretation facilities (simultaneous interpretation equipment and receivers for 1,800 persons). It all allowed the participants of the Gala to listen to messages and declarations of the leading European politicians. Our interpreters' voices could have been heard live in numerous foreign television stations.

It constitutes another proof that LIDEX is there when the history is being made.

On 18-20 May 2011, another Human Dimension Seminar took place at the Novotel Centrum Hotel in Warsaw. Delegates from 56 member countries of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, countries cooperating with the OSCE and representatives of international organizations discussed important issues of the modern world, including human rights, respecting freedom of expression and freedom of media. This year the subject of special discussion was the role of political parties in the political process.

LIDEX congresses & events department participated actively in preparations for this important event, as well as provided technical support and equipment during the conference. Graphics and film studio took care of graphic design and printing conference materials. We were also responsible for guest service during the conference (registration, information and distribution of materials).
