Keywords: Greater Hungary; Hungarian minority; Transylvania; Slovakia; Serbia; Ukraine
Summary/Abstract: The national idea of «Greater Hungary» developed by Hungarian national authorities considers the spread of its influence in the regions densely populated by the Hungarian diaspora: South Slovakia, Transylvania (Romania), Vojvodina (Serbia) and the Transcarpathian region (Ukraine). This article examines the danger concealed by this project for Central and Eastern European countries. The attempts of its implementation in the policy and practice of contemporary Hungarian right-wing political parties are considered. It is argued that all the issues of ethnic Hungarians living in neighboring countries must be solved taking into account the stands of the governments of those countries.
