The position of the country remains unchanged - Budapest will not support the European aspirations of Kiev, while the country "violates European and international law". Such a statement on Thursday, January 18, after a meeting with the Chairman of the Society of Hungarian Culture in Transcarpathia and Verkhovna Rada deputy Vasily Brenzovich, was made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Hungary Peter Siyarjato.

According to him, Hungary is ready for consultations and conclusion of agreements with Kiev on the issue of the law on education, but only if their content coincides with "the interests and the desire of the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia".

Official Budapest continues to consider the educational law of Ukraine as directed against international and European norms, and "in accordance with the expectations of the EU, the rights already obtained by minorities can not be taken away," he said..

Recall, September 28, 2017 came into force the law "On Education", which, in particular, determines that the language of the educational process in educational institutions is only the official language. Languages ??of national minorities, including Russian, will be studied only until the fifth grade, and already in 2020, education in Ukraine will become entirely Ukrainian.

As reported URA-Inform, the document caused sharp criticism of a number of countries, in particular, Hungary. Budapest appealed to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to conduct an investigation due to Ukrainian law.
