Hungary’s ambassador in Bucharest, Pal Szuts, met with Romanian Prime Minister Petre Roman and disputed a Romanian statement accusing Budapest of inciting ethnic clashes that killed several people in Romania’s Transylvania province last week, a Hungarian diplomat said. An official Romanian statement said Roman had urged Hungary “not to complicate the situation through declarations that give Romanians in Transylvania the feeling that they are endangered.� After a Cabinet meeting, the Romanian government said it would issue new rules quickly to reorganize the teaching of Hungarian, which the Hungarian minority had demanded.
