BUCHAREST: One of Romania’s deputy prime ministers resigned from the government yesterday in a dispute over an international initiative calling for better the protection of minorities in the EU.
Kelemen Hunor, who was also culture minister and remains a member of Romania’s Hungarian minority party, had railed against a government decision to oppose the drive by the Federal Union of European Nationalities, a non-governmental organisation, calling for the safeguarding of basic rights for minorities across the continent.
