To soothe relations with Hungary, a major source of tourism and investment, Hennadiy Moskal, head of Zakarpattia’s government, assured the region’s Hungarian-speaking minority that they can now get Hungarian passports at Kisvárda, a Hungarian city 30 km south of the border. Last month, Ukraine expelled the Hungarian consul from Berehove, a Hungarian-speaking city in Zakarpattia, after a video surfaced of consular officials issuing Hungarian passports to Ukrainians. “Nothing has changed. They changed the issuing place to Hungarian city Kisvárda. People can take a suburban train, which reaches the city in seven minutes, and they are accepted there,” Moskal said on 112 Ukraine TV. “If we are going to Europe, our motto is ‘no borders.’”
