GULYÁS SIGNS EUROPEAN CIVIL INITIATIVE ON ETHNIC REGIONS

 

Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, has signed a European civil initiative aimed at increased focus on aspects of ethnic regions when distributing cohesion funding. Speaking at a press conference, Gulyás said that “it is extremely important that the EU has causes on its agenda in which citizens can express their wish”.

Organisers of the signature drive, initiated by the Szekler National Council of Romania, have until May 7 next year to collect one million signatures, a prerequisite for the subject to be put on the European Parliament’s agenda.
