Hungary Conditions Ukraine EU Accession on Transcarpathia Rights

Hungarian PM Peter Magyar stated that Ukraine must guarantee Hungarian minority rights in Transcarpathia before EU accession clusters can open, signaling continued Hungarian resistance to fast-tracking Ukraine's EU bid. This reiterates a long-standing Hungarian position, now framed as a precondition at the Visegrad Group meeting. The outcome of Ukraine's accession remains uncertain, with Hungary able to delay progress.
