Hungary 🇭🇺 in language dispute with Ukraine 🇺🇦 over schools

Hungary says it will protest to the EU over a new law that limits the teaching of subjects in languages of Ukraine's ethnic minorities, including Hungarian.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said he would urge foreign ministers next Monday to revise the EU's partnership deal with the Ukraine.

The new law makes Ukrainian-language lessons mandatory in secondary schools. 
The Transcarpathia region of western Ukraine is home to about 150,000 ethnic Hungarians.

Szijjarto's comments came after he met with Hungarians in the region. The government provides funds for Hungarian-language schools based there. 

He said the law violated the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, a deal to remove trade barriers between the two entities which went into force last month.
