Part 4: Slovakia/Hungary - The Danube Bridge
Advertisement
Recently, the Hungarian president wanted to travel privately via the bridge to Slovakia, to take part in the inauguration of a monument honoring King Stephan, the first king of Hungary but he was refused entry at the border and had to turn back. Some Slovaks take a dim view of the large Hungarian minority in the country. A ban on the use of the Hungarian language in public offices is aimed at keeping Budapest in check.
