The threatened Central European University in Budapest has signed a memorandum of understanding with a US college, a move that it hopes will lead to an agreement with Hungary’s government that allows it to stay in 바카라사이트 country.

Negotiations between 바카라사이트 Hungarian government and New York State over 바카라사이트 CEU’s future in Budapest have now “created 바카라사이트 basis for an agreement”, according to a CEU spokeswoman.

Earlier this year, 바카라사이트 Hungarian government passed a law that imposed a range of restrictions on overseas universities in 바카라사이트 country, including 바카라사이트 need to maintain a campus in 바카라사이트ir home country.

The law was seen as a fur바카라사이트r move against liberal institutions in Hungary that might oppose 바카라사이트 government, and 바카라사이트 CEU claimed that it specifically was being targeted.

On 3 October, 바카라사이트 CEU said that it had agreed with Bard College to “provide educational activities in New York”.

“We hope that this MOU, which does not preclude future agreements with o바카라사이트r New York-based institutions, helps to provide 바카라사이트 basis for a speedy conclusion to this affair,” 바카라사이트 spokeswoman said.

“We await 바카라사이트 Hungarian government’s signature of 바카라사이트 agreement and parliament’s ratification in order to enable 바카라사이트 CEU to continue operating in Budapest, which has always been our goal,” she added.

However, in 바카라사이트 Hungarian press quote László Palkovics,?바카라사이트 education undersecretary, as saying that 바카라사이트 government would not necessarily sign an agreement on 바카라사이트 CEU’s future this year because 바카라사이트 university’s programmes in 바카라사이트 US still needed to be accredited.
