Hotly in Ukraine's relations with Hungary. One region has again become a background for the dispute
This is not the first situation in which the Zakarpacie region becomes the background of the conflict between Ukraine and Hungary.
“No such actions have been taken”
“Hands away from the Hungarian Culture Society in Zakarpacie! We demand immediate explanations from the Ukrainian authorities regarding media reports about the ban on the activities of an organization representing the Hungarian community and fighting for its rights!” – said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary Peter Szijjarto in the Facebook post.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Georgij Tichyj said in a commentary for the Ukrainian press agency Ukrinform that information about the prohibition of organization's activities is untrue.
“No such actions have been taken towards the mentioned association. Media reports that say the opposite are untrue,” he said.
Tychy also emphasized that there are enough problems in bilateral relations between Kiev and Budapest to solve. The spokesman called for not to desert this list about “any unfounded media reports”.
Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Ukraine allegedly intensified the espionage activity in Hungary. This is a response to Kiev reports, who claims that he broke the Hungarian espionage network operating in the corner.
