OMRI DAILY DIGEST
No. 215, 6 November 1996

HUNGARIAN ROUNDUP. Gyula Horn on 5 November recognized that a cabinet
compelled to implement stabilization measures cannot be popular,
Hungarian media reported. But the steps are bringing results, he said,
adding that forecasts show economic growth could begin next year, and
living conditions will remain stable. Hungarian media reported on 6
November that Welfare Minister Gyorgy Szabo tendered his resignation on
30 October citing family reasons, but Horn refused to accept it.
Meanwhile, on 5 November, Education Ministry official Maria Honti
announced that a scandal at her ministry is being investigated involving
a tender launched in December by the National Institute for Public
Education. Also on 5 November, Young Democrat Deputy Zoltan Pokorni
alleged that Istvan Korda, portfolio director of the state privatization
company APV and president of Antenna Hungaria, wants to illegally
transfer ownership of Antenna --which owns all the country's
wavelengths--to the U.S.-based Global TeleSystems Group. -- Sharon
Fisher

HUNGARY PLEASED WITH ROMANIAN ELECTION. Hungarian Foreign Ministry
spokesman Gabor Szentivanyi declared that Hungary welcomed Romania's
election results, Reuters reported on 5 November. Szentivanyi said he
was pleased that most votes went to parties that support the friendship
treaty between the two countries, signed on 16 September. However, the
Bucharest based Curierul National noted the treaty's ratification is not
part of the Hungarian Parliament's short-term agenda, but is expected to
be ratified by the end of the year. The treaty, already ratified by
Romania, was seen as a condition for both countries' integration into
NATO and the EU. -- Sharon Fisher and Zsolt Mato

VICTORY OF OPPOSITION CONFIRMED IN ROMANIA. With 99% of the votes
counted in the 3 November elections, the Democratic Convention of
Romania (CDR) seems a sure winner, capturing around 30% of the votes,
Romanian media reported. Observers from the Council of Europe and the
OSCE on 5 November described the elections as free and generally fair.
The monitors, however, cited irregularities and some lack of
transparency. Meanwhile, the Bucharest-based Adevarul on 6 November
wrote that talks for forming a new cabinet had already begun between the
CDR and the Social Democratic Union (USD) of former Premier Petre Roman,
which came in third with around 13% of the votes. The USD is said to
claim 30% of cabinet portfolios, while the Hungarian Democratic
Federation of Romania, another potential participant in the coalition
ruling, wants the justice and finance cabinet posts. -- Dan Ionescu and
Zsolt Mato
