Since the regime change Hungary is undoubtedly one of the most active kin-states in Europe which from time to time led to conflicts with the neighbouring countries. An important – and slightly less conflictual – component of Hungary's kin-state policy is the cross-border financial support system which had and still has an important role in the forming and upholding of the Hungarian minority nonprofit sector in the neighbouring contries. In my presentation I would like to address the case of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia and seek the answer to the following questions:
1. What demands did the organizations have towards Hungary’s support system?
2. How did the supply side meet and/or shape those demands?
3. Which nonprofit organizations did profit the most from the fiancial support system?
4. How did the changes in the financial support system possibly affect the Hungarian nonprofit sector in Slovakia?
