The end of the “cucumber season” – written by Ambrus Attila
Those of us who are even a bit interested in the sky-high pile of the European Union’s standards, we can be aware of the fact – and there’s no denying - that is better to be a bovine in the European Union, than to be a part of a national minority. The European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Council pay more attention to the well being of bovines than to the issue of the autochthonous minorities.

At home in our region, strong in Europe - Interview with Vincze Loránt, FUEN Vice-president
“We believe that the proposals we want to present to the European Commission is a package which places the issue of minority protection in a European context and calls for a solution. It is unacceptable that the European Union states at every turn that the issue of the minorities does not come under the EU competences, even though in the recent years in several cases the European Union found a way to draw into its competence and recommend certain policies to member states.”
