After the Greek Civil War many Macedonians were evacuated to Hungary. Many left from the Socialist Republic of Macedonia in the 1950s and 1960s. Although a substantial minority remained of the 7,253 who fled Greece.[1] An estimated 5,000 Macedonians resided in Hungary in 1995.[2] Most of the Macedonian population is present in the country's capital - Budapest.
