Шеклерите се малцинство во Романија кое себе си се идентификува со Унгарците, а живее на територијата на три општини. Бараат територијална автономија, официјален јазик и ден на Шеклерија (кој истовремено е националниот ден на Унгарија).
A convention of nearly 300 mayors and local councilors in Szeklerland -- 300km north of Bucharest -- decided last month to give the Magyar language a status equal to official Romanian.
Szeklerland sits in three Romanian counties -- Harghita, Covasna and Mures -- the first two of which have majority Hungarian populations.
The representatives are grouped politically around the Civic Hungarian (Magyar) Party. They declared that March 15th -- the national day of Hungary -- also become the official day for the Szeklerland region.
Moreover, they agreed to submit a proposal to the Romanian parliament calling for Szeklerland's territorial autonomy and ask the European Parliament to appoint a rapporteur.
All the decisions taken during the Szeklers' March 13th convention must be approved by parliament to become law.
The Civic Forum of Romanians in the three counties immediately condemned the decision and called for authorities to take a firm stand against such "separatist, revisionist and irredentist moves".
Prime Minister Emil Boc said that "any discussion on [making] the Magyar language official lacks constitutional grounds," while the Romanian constitution "is not subject to negotiations".
The Szeklers are historically known as fierce warriors whose origins are disputed. Hungarian monarchs sent them to the southeast corner of Transylvania to protect it from the Ottomans. Though now accepted as Hungarians, the Szeklers are characterised by a number of cultural differences preserved in their centuries-long mountain isolation. Yet in Romania's 2000 census, only 150 people declared themselves as Szeklers.
