HUNGARY, SLOVAKIA ORDERED TO APPEAR IN THE HAGUE. The
International Court of Justice in the Hague has ordered
representatives of Hungary and Slovakia to appear before the
court on 7 October in connection with their dispute over the
Danube hydropower project. Slovakia had appealed to the court
earlier this month (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 3 September 1998).
In other news, the EU has warned Hungary that unless it
proposes suitable projects on which to spend the 34 million
ECU ($29.3 million) remaining in its allocation in the 1995
PHARE budget, it will have to forfeit that money. MSZ
