SZIJJÁRTÓ: ETHNIC HUNGARIANS IN SLOVAKIA CAN RELY ON HUNGARIAN GOVT'S CONTINUED SUPPORT

 

Ethnic Hungarians in Slovakia can rely on the Hungarian government’s continuing support and help, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said after meeting Party of the Hungarian Community (MKP) leader Krisztián Forró. “The Hungarian government continues to believe that it is not our job in Budapest to decide what’s s best for ethnic Hungarian communities beyond the borders,” he said. “It is more useful to ask them what help they need.”
Szijjártó added that the Hungarian government’s relations with Slovakia had never been as good as they were now and ethnic Hungarians benefited from this.
