Is Hungary a Balkan/Eastern European country?

[Stears]

Seen from the western perspective Hungary might be Eastern Europe, but in fact it's much more the eastern part of Western Europe.

Said a chechen, who know better Hungary's position than the great Western encyclopedias.

[Stears]

Polk's ignorant proletarian blah blah

You are just another ignorant idiot, who want to know better the situation than the western encyclopedias, and academic scholars who edited them.

[Wild North]

There's no such thing as Central European. You're either Western or Eastern.

Nah, I disagree there´s always a "center" or "middle", in this case as in most.

[Szegedist]

I think they've earned the title of being "honorary westerners", after all, they did their dirty work for centuries.

Just like Serbs are Honorary Arabs.

. Russians are genetically more European, but Hungarians are more culturally European.

As a Romanian, Hungary is a central european country.

[Dragoon]

They are Central or Eastern European depending on which criteria you use. Not Balkan/Southeastern European.

[Bogdan]

Not Balkan but Eastern

Only Budapest has eastern European vibe in parts of Pest, maybe because of Jewish heritage.

Countryside looks completely central European even in puszta.

Honestly, Hungary is really not eastern european country and especially not Balkan.
