Hungary-Slovenia mixed committee held in Ljubljana

Contrary to global trends, there are no disputes and unresolved issues between Hungary and Slovenia in the field of minority protection, the foreign ministry commissioner in charge of neighbourhood policy, and co-leader of the Hungary-Slovenia mixed committee said on Monday.

Ferenc Kalmár said the body had held its 19th meeting in Ljubljana, and its agenda focused issues that advance the lives and resolve some problems of ethnic Hungarians in Slovenia and ethnic Slovenians in Hungary.

He cited infrastructure development projects in Slovenian villages in Slovensko Porabje, road revamp works in Hungary’s Vas County where several border crossings are located, and the development of a system of channels which requires the approval of the Őrség National Park.

He said additional topics included cultural and educational projects, and a proposal for the launch of a new bus service on the Budapest-Lenti-Lendava route.
