The head of the "Ioana Mihaly de Apsa" Association of Romanians in Ukraine, Vasile Iovdi, on Thursday stated while in Satu Mare that the new education law adopted in the neighbouring state is not "a big tragedy", but he still hoped that it would be changed, for there are many children and teachers whose future is unclear.
He said that Romanians on the right bank of the Tisa always learnt Ukrainian in school, but they will never forget their mother tongue, for they speak it at home.
Doctor Vasile Iovdi paid a visit to Satu Mare on Thursday, where he launched his book "Stories from the right bank of Tisa." AGERPRES .
