The family of the martyred Prime Minister was aware that Imre Nagy had left a suitcase at the Yugoslav Embassy in 1956, which contained personal and political documents. Further to Katalin Jánosi’s request, the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted its Serbian counterpart in 2008 to ask for their assistance in clarifying the situation of the suitcase and its contents.

The documents had already been handed over in 2008 and the political files can presently be found in the National Archives of Hungary. So far, the suitcase had been kept by the widow of Osman Dikic, former Advisor serving at the Yugoslav mission in Hungary in 1956.

On the occasion of the ceremony, the documents kept in the National Archives of Hungary were showcased and the martyrs of the revolution were remembered in silence. Katalin Jánosi expressed her gratitude to the Hungarian Government as well as to Osman Dikic for their help in retrieving the personal effects of her grandfather.
