1987. június. Egy eredménytelen magyar–román pártközi találkozó
June 1987. A Romanian-Hungarian Party Meeting without Results

Summary/Abstract: The article is about a meeting between a Hungarian and a Romanian delegation of top-members from the Central Committees of the two parties, that took place in Budapest on the beginning of June, 1987. By that time the relation of these two offi cially friendly countries was at a low scale, only the economical ones were having some progress. The cause for the bad relations were multiple: the attitude of the press in both countries, articles about controversial themes of the common past, the accusations of Budapest against Bucharest for the treatment of the Hungarian minority in Transylvania. The leader of the delegations was Mátyás Szűrös and Emil Bobu, both high-rank members of the CC-s of the two parties. Both delegations presented a list of proposals. The Hungarian delegation presented 21 proposals, the Romanian 4. The meeting had no positive results at all; both sides were stocked in their position. Budapest did not accept Bucharest’s condition that for a positive change in the relation the Hungarian press must change its behavior. It is important also to know that between the leaders of the two countries János Kádár and Nicolae Ceaușescu the last bilateral direct meeting took place in 1977.
