 Chapter II
In 2002 we examined the enforcement of minority rights in Baranya and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg Counties based on the experiences of the operation and activities of minority self-governments. In view of the outstanding importance and topicality of the issue, we continued the investigation into that matter in 2003.
In the case of the enquiry in Gyõr-Moson-Sopron County, our primary objective was not to write a report but to establish personal contacts with the beneficiaries and obligees of minority rights.
The comparison of the enquiry of 2002 in Baranya and Szabolcs Counties and of 2003 in Gyõr-Moson-Sopron County reveals that the problems relating to the enforcement of minority rights are similar in the three counties. Therefore in the summary we only wish to highlight a few problems and challenges, without an ambition of completeness.
