"Mr President, as a Member of the European Parliament I strongly believe that resolutions and ideas discussed here cannot be trashed without trace. They will have their impact on and consequences for the Council, the Commission and the targeted groups. That is why we proposed this successful initiative a year ago here in Parliament, to pass a resolution concerning Vojvodina in order to call the attention of European institutions to the atrocities and intimidation suffered by Hungarian people and to request that the Serbian bodies do not tolerate and therefore do not encourage such acts. It is to be regretted that one year on we still have not made any progress. The intimidation is continuing, the harassment and severe mistreatment of Hungarian children has become an everyday act. There is graffiti abusing native Hungarians. This is happening despite all the promises made as a result of official letters, parliamentary visits and ad hoc missions. Therefore we have to propose again to return to this issue. We have to be consistent, and the Commission and the Council must also be consistent. We cannot accept the fact that a neighbour state of the European Union, the Belgrade Government – receiving millions of euro especially for the promotion of tolerance – tolerates this aggression and encourages an atmosphere of fear by never finding the offenders guilty, while being especially austere – I would say cruel – when it comes to punishing Hungarian youngsters. I would like to quote a Hungarian mother: ‘Fear is there in the very soul of the children – their youth is poisoned’. It is the responsibility of all of us, Parliament, the Council and the Commission to remedy this situation."@en1
