Hungary believes that all 11 points set out in its proposal to Ukraine on addressing issues related to the Hungarian minority must be implemented in order to open a "new chapter" in bilateral relations.
Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said this during a joint press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels on Friday, Ukrinform reports.
Magyar said he had informed von der Leyen that talks were already under way with Ukrainian partners. He stressed that Hungary considers it important to receive guarantees for the roughly 100,000 ethnic Hungarians living in Ukraine, particularly regarding their ability to use their native language in schools, cultural activities, and public administration.
Magyar recalled Budapest's 11-point proposal to Ukraine aimed at addressing what Hungary describes as problems related to the rights of its national minority.
