UNESCO ambassador Katalin Bogyay, Human Resources Minister Zoltán Balog, British ambassador to Hungary Jonathan Knott, Rudnay Sándor Foundation head László Kiss-Rigó and Szeged University rector Gábor Szabó spoke at the meeting. Balog said Europe was going through an identity crisis. Tolerance, devoid of any moral base, has been made the focus, he said.

He warned that individual values would not add up to a whole and could not become the source of a central driving force. Balog said that all spiritual and cultural values had been extracted from European constitution, and the peoples of Europe had still failed to agree on what was left of the document.
