Next week the Hungarian Diaspora Council (MDT) and the Hungarian Permanent Conference (MAERT) will hold sessions, with the aim to produce a register of Hungarian memorials and items of value around the world dubbed "Julianus" and discuss the year of Hungarian nurseries abroad.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will address both meetings.

Deputy State Secretary for Hungarian Communities Abroad Zsuzsanna Répás told journalists at a background briefing in Budapest, that the MDT on Monday would hold a review of various memorial sites, evaluate progress made under the Julianus programme as well as assess further necessary measures.

At the MAERT session, next year's highlights under the nation-policy programme will be determined, and a review of problems affecting various regions reviewed. At last's year's meeting, the strategy document of the policy of the nation was approved, and, this time round, delegates will build on this document with an action plan, she said.
