On Monday, Budapest officially renamed István Grezsa's post for an "authorized minister responsible for the development of cooperation between Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County and Zakarpattia region, as well as coordination of the program of children's educational institutions of the Carpathian region."
That is, the name of the position is not about the development of a single region anymore, but rather about cooperation between the two neighboring border regions. Hungary has actually returned the position's name which existed until this year's spring.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó at a recent New York meeting had assured that Hungary would change the name of their "Zakarpattia envoy" post.
