For information on the treatment of ethnic Hungarians, please consult the attachments and Response to Information Request YUG21891.E of 21 November 1995. Information on the treatment of ethnic Hungarians in the army, and of those Hungarians who evade or desert from military service, could not be found among the sources consulted by the DIRB. However, for information on the effect that the draft law on amnesty is having on cases of military evasion or desertion that are presently before the courts, please consult Response to Information Request YUG23433.E of 21 March 1996.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints.
