Romanian Ambassador in Budapest, Victor Micula, requested an audience at the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said official sources. According to them, the meeting is related to the critical statements about Romania made by the Hungarian Ambassador to Bucharest, Zakonyi Botond and to the convocation at the Romanian Foreign Ministry of the Chargé d’Affaires of the Hungarian Embassy in Bucharest.

In replay, Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that statements about a possible autonomous status, based on ethnic criteria, is tantamount to an interference in the internal affairs of our country.
