A conflict between Ukraine and Hungary: Siarto asked OSCE to intervene

A conflict between Hungary and Ukraine continues to escalate. The Foreign Minister of Hungary Peter Siarto called on the OSCE to send a mission to Transcarpathia.

Tensions between the countries have increased due to the searches Security Service of Ukraine conducted in one of Hungary's charitable foundations in Transcarpathia Investigative actions a few days ago.

According to еру law enforcement officers, the fund interfered in the internal affairs of Ukraine and spread the fake information about the introduction of Hungarian law in Transcarpathia.

Meanwhile, the law enforcement officers opened a criminal case against a man who threatened the Hungarians of Transcarpathia. According to the head of the National Police Igor Klimenko, the man is accused of inciting ethnic hatred. Last week, a video appeared on the Internet in which an unknown person in a balaclava threatened the deputies of one of the Transcarpathian OTGs. The person acted in response to the officials who sang the Hungarian national anthem after taking the oath. Now the man faces a fine of up to 3 years of imprisonment.
