Change language:
Hungary has proposed that an intergovernmental working group should be set up to oversee the implementation of the Venice Commission’s recommendations concerning Ukraine’s new education law, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in New York on Tuesday.
Szijjártó is in New York to attend a session of the United Nations Security Council focusing on the situation in Ukraine.
Speaking to MTI ahead of a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Pavlo Klimkin, Szijjártó said that “by violating the rights of its Hungarian national minority, Ukraine has created a situation that is bad for everyone.”
“It’s bad for Ukraine, bad for Hungary, but primarily it’s bad for the minority groups living in Ukraine, including Transcarpathia Hungarians,” the minister said.
“Hungary isn’t interested in seeking trouble, but rather in finding a solution to this situation that’s bad for everyone,” Szijjártó said. Hungary wants Transcarpathia (Kárpátalja) Hungarians to regain their acquired rights, he added.
