MECIAR SAYS ETHNIC HUNGARIANS HAVE ENOUGH RIGHTS IN
SLOVAKIA. Slovak Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar said on 30
July that ethnic minorities in Slovakia, including
Hungarians, enjoy more widespread rights than the average
minority in Europe, Hungarian media reported, citing an
interview broadcast on Slovak Television. Meciar told two
British journalists that "the survival of the Hungarian
minority is guaranteed by the high birth rate of Gypsies,
who consider themselves Hungarian." In other news, visiting
Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi on 30 July told
journalists in Bratislava that he will support Slovakia's
bid to join the EU no matter who wins the parliamentary
elections in September. Asked whether he agreed with the
U.S. and EU concerns over the elections, Prodi said in the
presence of Meciar that during visits abroad, his main
principle is "never to interfere in the internal affairs" of
the other country. MSZ/MS

ROMANIAN EDUCATION MINISTER STILL OPPOSED TO HUNGARIAN
UNIVERSITY. Andrei Marga said in a press release on 30 July
that the debate on setting up a Hungarian-language
university in Transylvania has been "regrettably transformed
into a state problem." Marga said he is still opposed to the
idea and that "multi-culturalism", as promoted by the Babes-
Bolyai Cluj university when he was its dean has proved a
"viable solution" for meeting the requirements of ethnic
minority education. In an apparent response to the Hungarian
announcement that Budapest is ready to finance the
Hungarian-language university, Marga said that higher
education in Romania is in accordance with the decisions of
the parliament. He also said that no international
institution has stated it favors "educational separatism" in
Romania. MS
