Andrea Bocskor (Hungarian: Bocskor Andrea, Ukrainian: Андрея Бочкор; born 11 August 1978) is a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) representing Hungary.[1][2] She holds besides her Hungarian citizenship also Ukrainian citizenship (this practice is quite common among the Hungarian minority in Ukraine, although at the time of her election Ukrainian law did not recognise dual citizenship[3]).[4] Hence, she became the first elected Ukrainian in the European Parliament.[4] Bocskor lives in Ukraine; in the city Berehove.[4]
