Regarding the kindergarten development program in the Carpathian Basin, István Grezsa explained:
in recent years, the program's funding requirements exceeded HUF 61 billion, 17.6 billion of which went to the Highlands. Compared to its proportions, a slightly larger sum of money arrived in our region.
"The highlands are the place where the mixing of identities is the most characteristic within the Carpathian basin, there are great reserve capacities in terms of self-identity here. The Hungarians of the highlands can certainly count on the fact that the motherland will provide the opportunity for support through the national policy, which the communities here have to live with," he explained.
As he noted: the development of the institutional framework is the key to survival. In the past decade, mainly cultural support came from the mother country to the Hungarian communities abroad. More than a decade ago, they took another step in Hungarian self-development. The person as a resource came into focus - stated the government commissioner.
"In terms of human resources development, Hungarians can move forward, and this is what our national unification efforts serve. Cross-border support results in an increase in economic resources," stressed István Grezsa.
