1 October 2012

The Hungarian Prime Minister received József Berényi, President of the Hungarian Community Party (MKP), in his office on Monday.

Mr. Orbán will be meeting his Slovakian counterpart, Prime Minister Fico, tomorrow, and although discussions are likely to mainly centre on economic issues, the Prime Minister wished to be informed on the status of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia.

The MKP’s President informed Prime Minister Orbán about the downgrading of the Selye János University and the latest news concerning Hungarians who have lost their Slovakian citizenship after obtaining Hungarian nationality. They also discussed the public reaction regarding the European Parliament's discussion of the Benes Decrees, which state the collective guilt of Hungarians and Germans.

The MKP’s leader also reported on the joint declaration of the Hungarian organisations in Slovakia, signed on September 25, stating the need for cultural and regional self-governance, which the Prime Minister agreed are indispensable to the continued survival and development of Hungarians in Slovakia.
