I don't consider Hungary to be in the Balkans. It's central Europe.

My father visited Hungary in the 80's and was impressed with the architecture and cleanliness of Budapest. He thought he was in some central European country, but thanks to gypsy like Huszar they're giving the country a bad name.

Central European, i don't consider Hungary a Balkan country for geographical, religious and cultural aspects.

I think in the 20th century my country had a tendency to become a Balkanic country, but nowadays we keep to the developed countries.

Central Europe with Balkan and Eurasian (East Europe style) vibes.
The fact they are Catholics give them a Western identity, on the other hand.

It's wrong to say that Hungarians are Catholics, when there are many Protestants (including Prime Minister)
