TL;DR
- Peter Magyar, the leader of Hungary's Tisza party, has initiated a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
- The meeting is planned for early June in Berehove, a city with a significant Hungarian majority.
- The primary goal is to improve the situation of Hungarians in Zakarpattia and allow them to remain in their homeland.
- Magyar advocates for Ukraine to abolish legal restrictions that have been in place for over a decade, restoring cultural, linguistic, administrative, and higher education rights for Hungarians.
- He stated that restoring these rights would help Hungarians in Zakarpattia return to their homeland after the war and could lead to a new chapter in bilateral relations.
- Magyar deems Ukraine's announced concessions for 2025 regarding education as insufficient, noting that higher education remains monolingual and significant changes are needed in other official language use areas.
