The signatures were presented by FUEN President Loránt Vincze together with MEP and leader of the youth organisation of Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF-DPS), Ilhan Kyutchyuk.
“The message of 1,320,000 European citizens is crystal clear: they aim an EU support for the linguistic and cultural diversity. It's particularly valuable that in Bulgaria a youth organisation, the Youth MRF organised the signatures collection campaign. The Minority SafePack initiative is a project especially for the future generations” – said Loránt Vincze following the handover.
