Potapi: Hungary continues aid to Ukraine Hungarians

The Hungarian Prime Minister's Office continues its programme of providing financial aid to various groups within the ethnic Hungarian minority in Ukraine's Transcarpathia province, state secretary Arpad Janos Potapi told MTI on Wednesday. Under the programme, ethnic Hungarian teachers, health-care staff, social workers, journalists, actors and other groups are given a grant once a year to top up their salaries, the state secretary said. The programme's budget, totalling 2.4 billion forints this year, will help finance meals for needy children, too, Potapi said.
