HORN ON HUNGARIAN-SLOVAK TREATY. Hungarian Prime Minister
designate Gyula Horn said that his cabinet wants to approach the
issue of the Gabcikovo-Nagymaros power plant without any
prejudices, Nepszabadsag reported on 2 July. Horn stressed that
the environmental issues must remain decisive and a solution must
be worked out at the expert level followed by a political
solution. Horn said that once the power plant issue is settled,
Hungary and Slovakia will be closer to agreement on the issue of
the bilateral friendship treaty. Horn stressed that he will
consult with the leaders of the Hungarian minority living in
Slovakia before submitting the treaty for ratification to the
Hungarian parliament.  Judith Pataki, RFE/RL, Inc.
