SLOVAKIA'S HUNGARIANS WANT SLOVAK GOVERNMENT POSTS. Speaking at a
press conference in Bratislava on 20 September, Vojtech Bugar, the
chairman of the Hungarian Christian Democratic Movement, and other
ethnic Hungarian leaders said that they were ready to accept posts
in the next Slovak government, provided that the government was
not formed by Vladimir Meciar. Bugar also ruled out cooperation
with the Slovak National Party. The ethnic Hungarian parties
support the current government of Jozef Moravcik but do not hold
any government posts. -- Jiri Pehe, RFE/RL Inc.
