Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar has announced that a comprehensive agreement has been reached with Ukraine on expanding the linguistic, educational, cultural, and political rights of the Hungarian minority, which numbers approximately 100,000 people.
According to Ukrinform, Daily News Hungary stated this in an article.
Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar made the announcement in a Facebook post on Wednesday evening.
He said the agreement was the result of several weeks of intensive expert-level negotiations between Hungary and Ukraine, involving political organizations representing ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia and church institutions.
"I am very pleased to announce on the eve of the Day of National Unity (celebrated in Hungary on June 4) that the Ukrainian government has committed to incorporating the agreed measures into its legal system in the near future, granting our compatriots in Transcarpathia significantly broader educational, cultural, linguistic, and political rights than before," Magyar said.
