Българо-унгарски малцинствени връзки в Румъния между двете световни войни
Bulgarian-Hungarian Minority Ties in Romania between the Two World Wars

Summary/Abstract: A comparative analysis is made in the article of the position of the Bulgarian and Hungarian minority communities within the boundaries of Romania in the period between the two world wars and the historical conditions which connected their political movements are presented. On the basis of available sources and publications are analyzed the bilateral links with their prerequisites, causes, development, results and effect. The theme is elucidated against the background of the attempts to create a political bloc of the minorities in Romania, the Romanian national policy toward the minorities, the respective foreign policies of Bulgaria and Hungary and of the international relations with reference to the problems of the minorities during the period. The culmination of Bulgarian-Hungarian links occurred on the eve of the by election of a senator in the district of Kaliakra (Dobrich) in 1930 when at the request of activists of the Bulgarian minority the Hungarian Party rendered assistance in nominating a Bulgarian candidate independent from the Romanian parties. This episode in the contemporary history of the minorities question in Southeast Europe is regarded as a regular expression of ethno-political co-operation between two minority groups in the conditions of an ethno-central reality.
