Hungarian–Ukrainian expert-level consultations aimed at resolving the rights of the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia will begin with the involvement of representatives of the Hungarian community in Transcarpathia, Foreign Minister Anita Orbán said on Monday.
She said on Facebook that this had been agreed upon during a telephone conversation over the weekend with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.
“Both sides have appointed their negotiating delegations, which will hold their first consultations online,” she said. As a result, discussions can begin as early as tomorrow, laying an important foundation for the prompt and reassuring settlement of minority rights issues, she added.
