Dear Celebrating Audience! Dear young people from Transylvania, the Highlands, the Southland, Transcarpathia and Hungary!

Celebratory speech at the opening ceremony of the “Transylvania Region” exhibit in the Village Museum of Szentendre
Szentendre (Hungary)
In the 1980s, long before the Regime Change, a tradition evolved. Hungarian tourists in Transylvania who made it as far as the Hargita Mountains had a pine branch tucked into the grill of their car, above the licence plate. This is how they let others know where they had been. They thought it important to signal to their compatriots in Transylvania and Hungary that they had visited Transylvania. It was important for them to make this trip and communicate this to others.
