匈牙利周一敦促乌克兰保障匈牙利语教育和少数民族学校的法律保护，因为乌克兰议员们正准备审议一项少数民族权利法案。
Hungary urged Ukraine on Monday to guarantee Hungarian-language education and legal protections for minority schools as Ukrainian lawmakers prepared to consider a minority rights bill.
“乌克兰履行其义务以确保匈牙利语教学和少数民族学校的法律确定性非常重要，”匈牙利外交部长安妮塔·奥尔班在卢森堡欧盟外长会议前对记者表示。
“It is important that Ukraine fulfill its obligations to ensure Hungarian-language instruction and legal certainty for minority schools,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orban told reporters ahead of an EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg.
奥尔班表示，布达佩斯正“等待来自基辅的消息”，议会将在那里于周一辩论并表决该法案。
Orban said Budapest was “awaiting news from Kyiv,” where parliament was scheduled to debate and vote on the bill Monday.
该立法将加强乌克兰匈牙利少数民族的教育和语言权利，包括匈牙利语教学的法律保障以及提供该教学的学校网络。
The legislation would strengthen educational and language rights for Ukraine’s Hungarian minority, including legal guarantees for Hungarian-language instruction and the network of schools providing it.
奥尔班表示，匈牙利将通过两国联合政府间经济委员会的教育分委员会，与乌克兰外喀尔巴阡地区匈牙利少数民族组织的代表一起监督该法律的实施。
Orban said Hungary would monitor the law’s implementation alongside representatives of Hungarian minority organizations in Ukraine’s Transcarpathia region through an education subcommittee of the countries’ joint intergovernmental economic committee.
西乌克兰约10万至15万匈牙利族人的权利长期紧张着基辅与布达佩斯的关系，并且一直是匈牙利反对乌克兰加入欧盟谈判进展的核心问题。
The rights of an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 ethnic Hungarians in western Ukraine have long strained relations between Kyiv and Budapest and have been central to Hungary’s opposition to progress in Ukraine’s EU accession talks.
作为乌克兰承诺引入少数民族权利立法的交换，匈牙利总理彼得·马扎尔政府解除了其在包括单一市场在内的领域推进乌克兰加入欧盟谈判的否决权。然而，布达佩斯表示，进一步进展取决于该法案的通过和实施。
In exchange for Ukraine’s commitment to introduce the minority rights legislation, Prime Minister Peter Magyar’s government lifted its veto on advancing EU accession talks in areas including the single market. However, Budapest has made further progress conditional on the bill’s adoption and implementation.
