Danger in Transylvania? Tension between the Hungarian and Romanian government

G4 Media, which regularly reports on the Hungarian government’s investments in Transylvania, contacted the Romanian Foreign Ministry with questions about Hungarian investments in Romania. The answer was that Romania has not given any level of consent to Hungary’s investment programmes in Transylvania.

Large Hungarian investments in Transylvania

G4 Media contacted the Romanian Foreign Ministry with questions after Mónika Kozma, head of the Pro Economica Foundation, said in February that Hungary would launch a tender for rural development support in the region for farmers in counties along the Hungarian-Romanian border, TransTelex.ro reports.

At the same time, Kozma also reported that the implementation of around one hundred large investments of the economic development programme financed by the Hungarian government in Szeklerland is progressing well.

The majority of the agricultural and food processing plants that have been awarded tenders are already in operation. Meanwhile, the rest are due to be handed over to entrepreneurs by the end of December 2023. After the small-scale farm tenders in Szeklerland, the Pro Economica Foundation, which runs the programme, is waiting for the green light to launch the farm tenders in Partium, Kozma said in mid-February.
