SMK congress approves formation of joint Hungarian party 'Alliance'

The ethnic-Hungarian extra-parliamentary SMK party will join a common party of entities representing the Hungarian minority in Slovakia, with its congress approving the formation of 'Alliance' on Sunday, TASR learnt from SMK press secretary Robert Kralik. Most-Hid also gave the green light to joining Alliance over the weekend, and the party's delegates at the congress adopted the statutes and other documents needed to form the party. Three entities - SMK, Most-Hid and Solidarity - are set to operate via platforms within the joint ethnic-Hungarian Alliance party.
