Minorities in Ukraine are, according to Financial Times, the biggest potential obstacle to the start of negotiations for the accession of Ukraine to the European Union.[1] Large ethnic Russian, Hungarian and Romanian minorities exist in Ukraine, and Hungary and Romania have striven for their minority rights.[2] Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán has threatened to veto Ukraine's process of EU accession numerous times over minority rights issues.[1] Ukraine also has a small number of Poles, Jews, Armenians, Roma and other nationalities.[3]
