SZIJJÁRTÓ: HUNGARY, BULGARIA WANT UKRAINE DISTRICTS WITH NATIONAL MINORITIES PRESERVED

 

Hungary and Bulgaria are striving to ensure that administrative districts in Ukraine in which both countries’ ethnic kin form a majority are maintained once administrative reforms are implemented in the country, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Facebook after talks by phone with his Bulgarian counterpart Ekaterina Zakharieva.
Ukraine’s reforms will affect both sizeable Bulgarian and Hungarian communities, Szijjártó said, adding that the issue of minorities would feature high on the agenda of impending talks with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.
