In Transcarpathia changes - from there the ethnic Hungarians leave massively. This was enthusiastically told by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin after talks in Vienna with a colleague from Budapest. The ministerial meeting ended on a positive note, he shared his impression. And he added that he had a pleasant conversation with Peter Siyarto. "Ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia are no longer 150 thousand and not even 100 thousand. People are leaving the region, "he wrote on Twitter. And now Kiev and Budapest have a "common task - to support and help communities". The outflow of Hungarians occurs for three reasons, RIA FAN member of the Council on Interethnic Relations under the President of Russia Bogdan Bezpalko. The first is the easy reception by ethnic Hungarians of the passport of the historical homeland and, of course, the citizenship of the EU. The second is the powerful economic degradation and decline of power in Ukraine. The third one is depriving the Hungarians of "modest opportunities for cultural autonomy," he clarified. On the eve of Siyarto, he rejected the proposal of his Kiev counterpart to meet in the Transcarpathian region to discuss the adoption of the Independent Education Law on the Ukrainianization of education,. On Thursday, December 7, the 24th meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE Ministerial Council) began in Vienna, Austria,. On it, Hungary proposed to send an observation mission to the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine.

In Transcarpathia, there are actions, during which there is an outrage over the national symbols of Hungary, he explained his initiative, writes "Podmoskovye today". At the same time, the head of diplomacy from Budapest reminded that the law "On Education", adopted in Ukraine in September, contradicts the obligations of Kiev and the OSCE in part because it deprives people of the right to receive education in their native language. Immediately after the adoption of the law, Siyarto promised that Hungary would block all European initiatives of Ukraine.
