Presentation of Hodoš

The municipality of Hodoš was formed in 1998 by division of the municipality of Hodoš-Šalovci, which had itself seceded from Murska Sobota in 1995. Hodoš is located in the Pomurska region, that is the "region by the river Mura", in the north-eastern part of Slovenia on the border with Hungary. The municipality has a large Hungarian population, and the Hungarian language and flag are in official use there.
