"To win the support of Western decision-makers > for these ideas is the duty and responsibility of the Hungarian > government," he said. > > Budapest has been seriously concerned about the impact of the Kosovo > crisis on the Vojvodina Hungarians. Hungary joined NATO shortly before > Operation Allied Force began on March 24. > > Vojvodina Hungrian community leader Jozsef Kasza said in Budapest last > week that the autonomy plan was jointly worked out by Vojvodina ethnic > Hungarian and Hungarian government experts. > > Orban warned that large numbers of Serb settlers could flood into the > Vojvodina after the Kosovo conflict, citing a similar effect following > the 1991-95 Bosnian war. > > "The 250,000 Serb refugees who settled there considerably spoilt the > interest-safeguarding capacity of the Vojvodina Hungarians." > > "It is a realistic danger that the events of three years ago (after > the Bosnian war) could be repeated in the Vojvodina, although in a > less dramatic form," he added. > > Ethnic Hungarians currently represent some 18 percent of the > population of the Vojvodina, a province which enjoyed considerable > autonomy before Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic scrapped it in > 1991.
