The [[Polish minority in Hungary]] is around 10,000 and has a long history of over 1000 years. The [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]] included 16 towns of Hungarian territories, and the [[AustroAustris-Hungarian EmpireHungary]] (1867–1918) included the Polish region of [[Galicia (Central Europe)|Galicia]]. [[Hungary–Poland relations]] are strong and positive and best described in a poem, "[[Pole, Hungarian, two good friends]],", about the fraternal sense of commonality in boththe Polish and the Hungarian cultures. [[Budapest]] is home to a large Polish community, and there are also ethnic Poles in the northern part of the country, bordering [[Slovakia]] and [[Ukraine]]. Most Polish-Hungarians are practising [[Roman Catholics]], but many are members of the [[Eastern Catholic Church|Eastern (Polish-Carpathian or Carpato-Ukrainian)]] and [[Greek Catholic]] Churches.<ref name="MSZ" />
