The Hungarians of Zakarpattia appealed to Orban
The Democratic Union of Hungarians of Ukraine published a letter to the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, and the President of the European Council, Charles Michel.
We strongly urge all leaders of the EU member states to continue supporting Ukraine on the path of European integration. This progress in ensuring democracy and the rights of national minorities is an integral part of the Copenhagen criteria for membership, and we believe that Ukraine deserves to be supported in its efforts in this direction.
The authors add that the new draft law adopted by the Ukrainian parliament significantly reflects the interests of national minorities and enjoys their full support.
At the same time, we hope that all the norms adopted in the mentioned comprehensive law will be implemented in the normative documents of the Ukrainian legislation, taking into account all the proposals that were given by the public organizations of Hungarians in Zakarpattia.
The letters were signed by Zoltan Babiak, head of the Berehiv urban territorial community; Karlo Rezes, director of the Berehiv district council; Laslo Zubanych, head of the Democratic Union of Hungarians of Ukraine (UMDS); Yosyp Rezes, deputy of the Zakarpattia regional council; Yudita Petei, director of the charitable organization "Foundation for Ukrainian-Hungarian Regional Youth Development".
