Hungarian history shaped by all its nations, says Hungarian state secretary in Zagreb

Hungarian history is the history of all nations that once shared a homeland in Hungary and built it together, the state secretary for Hungarian communities beyond the border said in Zagreb on Wednesday.

Speaking to representatives of the Hungarian community in Croatia at an exhibition on Hungarian-Croatian history, Árpád János Potápi said that all those nations, “especially Croatians and Hungarians”, have survived the past centuries by protecting and helping each other.

Without standing by each other, those two nations would not have survived, he insisted.

Potápi said Hungary had a vested interest in European cooperation.

The Visegrad Group should stand together on European platforms, he said, adding that Hungary also had a special interest in procuring the support of Croatia and its other allies.

Then Hungary can also support the goals of the region, he said.
