Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of the twentieth century, in Transylvania a new generation asserts itself, considering that the Romanians 'rights can be defended only by party leaders' involvement in politics. The Transylvanian new generation started an intense political activity in Budapest, Vienna and Bucharest. Romanian politicians have begun negotiations with the Hungarian political class to achieve autonomy in Transylvania. The Romanian-Hungarian negotiations led by the leaders of P.N.R. in 1910-1914 proved that Transylvania has a political elite and these negotiations stand for an prelude to the great saga of national union. During the Romanian-Hungarian negotiations an important role went to Vasile Goldiş, who, after the work in the Hungarian Parliament concluded that the problem of nationalities was the most important political issue of Hungary, which could not be solved without the cooperation of all the politicians in Hungary.
