Hungary is offering Ukraine a EUR $50 million long term loan to repair two roads running north from the Hungarian border into historically Hungarian-speaking areas of Zakarpattia. One road to be rebuilt would be 75 km the of road from the Astei crossing point north to Berehove and Mukachevo. The second road runs 12 km from the new crossing at Velya Papad north to Pyiterfolvo. Hungarian tourism to Zakarpattia is increasingly popular, but the poor state of the roads keeps many Hungarians from making the trip.
