The Role of Romanian Community from Hungary in terms of Bilateral Romanian – Hungarian Relations
Journal Title: EUROLIMES - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 26
Abstract
Romania and Hungary are two neighbouring states, both of which are currently members of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance (NATO). The two states promote and share common European values within the two organizations. In recent years, both countries have made efforts to develop a bilateral relationship in a new, modern and pragmatic framework. In the year 1996, after effective negotiations, the “Treaty of Understanding, Cooperation and Good Neighbourhood between Romania and Hungary” was signed in Timisoara, September 16th. This treaty was a very important moment in the relations between the two states, which confirmed the joint support of objectives with deep European reverberations. At that time, the signing of this treaty created the premises for an in-depth, modern and open dialogue, followed by positive developments at bilateral level. A special chapter in the Romanian-Hungarian bilateral dialogue is undoubtedly the very important subject of ethnic minorities of the two states that live on the state territory of the two countries under discussion. An important ethnic Hungarian community lives in Romania, and in Hungary there is a historical Romanian minority. The treaty stipulated in the most categorical terms that national minorities are an integral part of the society of the state they live in and that their protection is part of the international protection of human rights. The normalization of their cooperation in this field is an important contribution both to stability and understanding in Europe, and to the consolidation of democracy in the two countries and their integration into European and Euro-Atlantic structures.
