A movie posted on YouTube promotes campaign’s website. The movie points out the confusions generated by the similarity of name between the 2 capitals, with examples from musicians that saluted Romanians with “Hello Budapest” while concerting in Romania to the desperations of the 400 Athletic Bilbao fans that missed Europa League finals because they took the wrong flight, reaching to Budapest instead of Bucharest.
