Ukraine, Hungary to cooperate in implementation of education law – Klimkin

Ukraine and Hungary intend to work together on the implementation of the law on education.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said this while speaking during the Hour of Questions to the Government in the Parliament, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"During the last days I held talks with the Hungarian foreign minister, and yesterday our joint talks were held with the Ukrainian education minister and with the Hungarian minister of human resources. As a result, we agreed that we would work together with the Ukrainian citizens of Hungarian origin and with the Hungarian community on a plan for the implementation of the law," Klimkin said.

He notes that the Ministry is working with all countries of the European Union in order to explain the law.

On September 5, the Verkhovna Rada approved the law on education, which provides that the state language, Ukrainian, is the language of the educational process. Hungary, Romania and Poland expressed concern over the norm of the language of instruction for the representatives of national minorities of Ukraine.

Ukraine sent the law on education for examination to the Venice Commission.
