Hungarian FIDE Association The Hungarian FIDE Association was
founded on 9 November 2003 in Budapest, as the very first national
FIDE Association in Central and Eastern Europe. There were 11
founding members in 2013, while today there are more than 50
members, all are leading experts, specialists in EU law in Hungary
(judges, professors, attorneys at law, banking lawyers etc.) The
Hungarian FIDE Association was admitted into the FIDE in 2004 at
the Dublin Congress among the first four new full members of FIDE
from the former socialist block. Since 2004 the Hungarian FIDE
Association has delivered national reports at all FIDE Congresses,
and its founding President chaired several sections, for example,
at the Linz and the Madrid FIDE Congresses.
