Bucharest and Budapest authorities keep focussing on the discussions on the Law regarding Hungarians statute outside Hungary.
The debates on this issue were resumed at Balvanyos Summer University yesterday, organised by UDMR (Democratic Union of Magyars in Romania) in Tusnad and also during talks between the Romanian Foreign Minister Mircea Geoana and OSCE High Commissioner for Minorities Rolf Ekeus.
Budapest officials keep lobbying for the Law on Hungarians statute outside the country to be accepted. Hungary’s Environment Protection Minister Turi-Kovacs Bela yesterday specified that the disagreements between Romania and Hungary on the statute law would be solved.
The opinion of the Hungarian Ministry, who attended Balvanyos Summer University, is that the “troubles” linked with the Law of Hungarians statute will be solved, as Romania and Hungary “have no other option than co-operation”. “The Law of Hungarians living outside Hungary burst storms.
These disagreements will be eventually solved as our only chance is co-operation,” the Hungarian official was quoted as saying by Mediafax. Turi-Kovacs Bela estimated that in general, it is possible to co-operate if all the parties involved really want to.
