“Hungary filed a complaint with the OSCE Secretary General, the Organization’s Commissioner for National Minorities and the current OSCE Chairmanship, as well as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy. In this letter, the Hungarian government draws the attention of international organizations to the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of a new law on education, which, according to Budapest, will infringe on the rights of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine,” says a message on the Radio Liberty website.
As reported, on September 5, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on education, which begins the reform of education in Ukraine. The law, among other things, determines that the language of the educational process in educational institutions is exclusively Ukrainian.
On September 7, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó said that with his new education policy, Ukraine "stab a knife in the back" of a neighboring state. On September 10, Hungarian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tamas Menzer said that Budapest would raise the issue of amending the language article of the Ukrainian law on education at all UN, OSCE and European Union forums. At the same time, an order was given to Hungarian diplomats not to support decisions important for Ukraine in international organizations.
“Ukraine will continue to do everything to develop the Ukrainian (language - ed.) and guarantee the free development of the languages of national minorities: this is our responsibility,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin wrote, justifying himself, on Twitter.
