Slovakia rules out autonomy for Hungarians He pointed out that Slovakia respects individual rights of all her citizens regardless of their ethnicity, and stressed that this EU member state will not give collective rights to any community, including the Hungarian. Kubis commented on the requests coming from the leaders of Serbia's Hungarian minority in Vojvodina to make the notion of personal autonomy Hungary's official policy inside the EU, by saying that "this kind of thing won't happen in Slovakia". "I cannot speak about Budapest's policy toward Hungarian minorities in other countries, but I know what we in Slovakia are doing, since the position of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia is our responsibility," the minister said. "We will not allow talks leading in that direction either on the bilateral, or on the EU level," he emphasized. Kubis added that his country guarantees each citizen, including the members of ethnic minorities, all the rights they are entitled to according to European standards.
