From June 1, 2009, Schiffer will start preparing a world-class cultural introduction for Hungary, coordinated with his counterparts in Spain and Belgium, Hiller said.
"Hungary must start a process in 2011 which will also influence cultural life in the future," he added.
 
Schiffer said he would work to create a consensus among the representatives of Hungary's cultural life.
