TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Gerindra Party chief patron Prabowo Subianto served Democrat chair Susilo "SBY" Bambang Yudhoyono with Kopi 08 (Coffee 08) during their meeting today at the former's residence on Jl. Kertanegara IV. Today's meeting is their second official meeting this month.
Kopi 08 is a specific type of coffee Prabowo serves to the guests that he deems important at his private residences—both on Jl. Kertanegara and in Hambalang.
The numbers "08" are known to be Prabowo's code during his days with the Army's Special Forces (Kopassus).

After meeting the journalists and several Gerindra's top men, both entered the house for a closed meeting.
