remaining 94 000 cadastral acres were distributed among both the dwarf holders owhing 1-2 cadastral acres, and other people on lease. The decree No. 84/1950. MT., which came into effect on 25 March 1950, allowed for the previously resettled Germans to regain their Hungarian citizenship and, mainly for those, who had left relatives in Hungary, to remove. There were no legally declared formal condition of the removal. The Hungarian State decided by itself the worthiness of each applicants to receive the permission. According to the agreement concluded with the German Democratic Republic the Hungarian government did not propagated the opportunity of moving home among those living there, but they allowed for the applications regarding this subject, which were put in by relatives in Hungary. By 4 October 1950 1184 resettled people living in Vienna and 8369 relatives living in Hungary had put in their application for moving home. 90% of those intending to return were formerly resettled, while 10% of them had left the country during the war because of military incidents. The countries of the region after second world war - though only for a short time - had the opportunity to organize the democratic states and to create a Middle-Europe based on new co-operative principles. However, they could not take it because of the influences of the Great Powers and the defects in the singular civil development of the region - which, in the author's opinion, in the first period presented itself in the relations of nations of majority with their own minorities and the way of handling the minority problems. The consequences of the failed opportunity still have effectts on the present day, and warn us that neither the settlement of the minorities' situation, according to united legal standards, nor the settlement of the co-operation of countries of Middle-Europe, mutually respecting interests of one another, can be eluded.
