Since the largest part of the Hungarian minority in Croatia
lived in Osijek and Osijek County, it had been proposed that the
future cultural and education centre for the Hungarian minority be
built in Osijek, Magyar said, adding this was the main purpose of

the centre and Glavas promised that the Osijek County would support
the project.
Prefect Glavas asked the Hungarian minister to use his
influence with a view to opening a Hungarian consulate in Osijek.
Magyar stressed the need for the establishment of a department
for the Hungarian language with Osijek University.
