Hungary-Romania: Treaty on Understanding, Cooperation and Good Neighborliness

Abstract

The Hungarian-Romanian Treaty of Understanding, Cooperation and Good Neighborliness is the latest in a series of 13 framework treaties concluded by Hungary after 1989, regulating fundamental elements of interstate contact and settling certain specific disputes. That is why both parties refer to it as the Hungarian-Romanian “Basic Treaty”, as is the case with the two most frequently discussed forerunners to it, the Hungarian-Ukrainian Basic Treaty (done at Kiev on December 6, 1991 and entered into force on June 16, 1993), and the Hungarian-Slovak Basic Treaty (done at Paris on March 19, 1995 and entered into force on May 15, 1996).
