Summary/Abstract: Since the conflict in Eastern Ukraine has exploded, Hungary is constantly monitoring the situation of Transcarpathia and provides support not only for Transcarpathian Hungarians, but the entire population of the region. Within the framework of the survey TANDEM 2016 we tried to obtain a better understanding on how the local people evaluate Hungary’s policy towards Transcarpathia. The issue of simplified naturalization, interethnic relations and ethnocentrism were among our central interests during the investigation. The research shows that besides the Hungarians, the Ukrainians also evaluate positively the supporting policy of Hungary towards Transcarpathia. The relation of the two nations is reported positively by both groups. However, Hungarian respondents spoke more of conflicting relationships at the settlement, the county (Transcarpathia) and the country level than the respondents of the Ukrainian subsample.
