The Note verbale read as follows:
" The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Hungary presents its
compliments to the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe and has the
honor to draw its attention to a technical error contained in the instrument of
ratification deposited by the Republic of Hungary, namely that the languages
enumerated in respect of which Hungary makes undertakings concerning
Part III of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, do
not include the Serbian language.
Indeed, the Republic of Hungary, by Decision No. 35/1995 (IV.7) of the
Parliament, of which an official translation in French is appended, has
ratified Part III of the Charter, accepting also the Serbian language and with
the same options as those enumerated in the instrument of ratification of 19
April 1995.
Decision of the Parliament No. 35/1995
