Ethnic Hungarians living in Ukraine are constantly intimidated, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said Thursday, saying pressure had become central government policy in Kiev, MTI reported.
The head of Hungarian diplomacy wrote on Facebook, after a meeting with his counterparts from the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe), that the Ukrainian secret services raided the headquarters of the Hungarian Cultural Association in Transcarpathia, at the home of its president, Laszlo Brenzovics. as well as at the Hungarian College Ferenc Rakoczi II in Berehove and at the office of the organization responsible for the Hungarian government mechanism for assisting the economic development of the Hungarian ethnic community in Transcarpathia, writes agerpres.ro.

Szijjarto described this research conducted by “aggressive commandos” as “unacceptable”, evoking “essentially Soviet-communist scare tactics”. “Constant pressure” on ethnic Hungarians in Ukraine has now become a central government policy, the minister noted.
He also called on Albania, which holds the OSCE rotating presidency, to send a team of observers to Transcarpathia to monitor the treatment of ethnic Hungarians in the region, but the head of the special monitoring mission in Kiev has banned members of the team to contact the Hungarian community and were allowed to speak only with the Ukrainian secret services.

Peter Szijjarto added that NATO member states should show solidarity with Hungary and said Hungary will continue to block Ukraine’s aspirations to join the alliance as long as it treats the Hungarian community in this way.
Relations between Budapest and Kiev have become increasingly strained in recent years after the Ukrainian parliament passed a new education law. Voted in early September 2017 and promulgated by then-president Petro Poroshenko, the new law introduced the 12-class system in Ukraine and expanded the use of the Ukrainian language in education. In November last year, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stressed that his government would block any future rapprochement of Ukraine with NATO if it did not respect the rights of the Hungarian minority.
