It also reflects significant personalities from both sides, particularly Romanian journalist – Slovak Gustav Augustini. Romania-Slovak relations at the cultural level in the 19th century were based on the real position of Slovaks and Transylvanian and Banatian Romanian in the Hungary as oppressed national minorities. By contrast to Slovaks, Hungarian Romanian had some support in Romanian state. They faced to magyarization pressure together, so their representations arrived to mutual cooperation and cultural contacts.
