Peter Magyar and Anita Orban welcomed the introduction of the bill to parliament
Hungary welcomes Ukraine’s preparation of a draft law on the educational rights of national minorities. This was stated on Facebook by Prime Minister Péter Magyar .
“The legislation strengthens the legal guarantees for education in the Hungarian language and the network of educational institutions,” he noted.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orbán emphasized that Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Vsevolod Chentsov personally informed her that this document would be submitted to the Ukrainian parliament.
“We welcome this step, which was preceded by bilateral Hungarian-Ukrainian expert consultations and negotiations with representatives of the Hungarian community in Transcarpathia over the past few weeks. The adoption of the bill could strengthen legal guarantees for education in the Hungarian native language and the network of educational institutions,” Orban noted.
She hopes that the Verkhovna Rada will pass the law in October.
“We are pleased that in just a few months we have achieved greater and more tangible results in strengthening the rights of the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia than the Orbán government has achieved in 10 years,” added Hungary’s Foreign Minister.
