After Paris, Stockholm, Praha and Bucharest the Budapest team has taken over the buton and invited its babelian friends to celebrate the launch of the community in a cosy downtown coffee-bar. Besides people showing interest for our activity, represnetatives of our most importat partners have also taken part in the event, with whom we clinked our glasses on the success of the babelian community.

All those concerned with foreign politics and energy policy, and in particular with one of today’s Europe’s most pressing issues: energy-dependence, were invited to take part in the debate organised by the Budapest team of cafebabel.com in Café Centrál on June 8 2007. The people gathered together with the aim to get some first hand information – free of political influence – about the European context of the energy business to be able to formulate their opinion on the subject.

Cafébabel Budapest took a risky decision by inviting high profile guests on 16th December 2006, in the pre-Christmas rush, to discuss and give answers to question of political instability, economic problems and disillusionment of EU membership recognised in Central European countries during the past period. The debate was organised in course of the Europe on the Ground project of cafebabel.com, thus 5 journalists from all over Europe took part in the discussion as well.
