Property Claims Against the Government of Hungary

    The Department of State has recently received the following 
information from the Government of Hungary about filing claims for 
property restitution or compensation under Hungary's domestic laws 
remedying illegal expropriation.
    The Hungarian Parliament has reopened the period within which 
claims for property restitution or compensation may be filed with the 
Government of Hungary under existing Hungarian property restitution 
laws. Persons who did not recover under these laws because of their 
failure to file by the previous deadlines may now file a claim for 
compensation or restitution with appropriate Hungarian authorities. 
These claims must be filed between February 15, 1994 and March 15, 
1994.
    Apart from the new filing period, Hungary's property restitution 
laws remain unchanged. They continue to provide only partial 
compensation or restitution in the form of property coupons, and 
eligibility remains limited to persons who meet certain citizenship 
requirements.
    Persons desiring further information about these developments or 
assistance relating to the filing of a claim under Hungary's domestic 
laws should contact the Hungarian Embassy, 3910 Shoemaker Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20008.

    Dated: February 7, 1994.
Ronald J. Bettauer,
Assistant Legal Adviser for International Claims and Investment 
Disputes.
