There are lots of Nazi symbolism in the Eastern part of Europe. Which is a shame and stupid. Idolising or showing any kind of support for an organisation that thought of your people less then animals. Not the smartest move.
That was the idea, I think. Except Ukrainian government no longer wants to be friendsGarethw87 wrote:The EU and Europe should just be friends and join some kind of cooperation.
That would upset the balance (Ukraine is huge). Then again so would this.
If people live in a democratic world and they want to join the EU then that should happen.

It's the same situation with Moldovans living in Chernovtsy and Odessa Oblast'. Most of them vote for the Party of Regions.

I don't think Hungarians "vote" for them. So it's a difference.
Note that ethnic Hungarians are in minority within the Zakkarpatia as well.
