Actually, the Hungarian Kingdom integrated the mentioned territories, even Transylvania for ten hundred years, so we have a common Central-European folklore heritage here and the Hungarian dancers are always pleasfully integrate Gipsy, Romanian and Slovakian dances into their repertoire not just to make the show more colorful, but even to pay respect for our Gipsy, Romanian and Slovakian friend, as we have common past and common future here.

This "Hungarian" festival had...Romanian costumes, dances, music, songs (including in the Romanian language) portraying...Romania's Transylvania.
It had a false map (imperialist Hungary with lands stolen until Trianon from Slovakia, Serbia, and Romania, where minority Hungarians had occupied and enslaved majority populations under the Austro-Hungarian empire). If they can't steal lands anmore, they plagiarized the culture. They also chased away old women because they heard them speak Romanian.
