Selice

Selice (Hungarian: Szelőce, formerly Sókszelőce; German: Seleuch) is a village and municipality in Šaľa District, in the Nitra Region of south-west Slovakia.

After the Habsburg monarchy collapse in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area, later acknowledged internationally by the Treaty of Trianon.

Between 1938 and 1945 Selice nad Dunajom once more became part of Miklós Horthy's Hungary through the First Vienna Award.

In 1946, the separate (and larger) village of Šók (Slovak; Sók or Magyarsók in Hungarian, Šóka in Romani) became part of Selice.

[citation needed] The main reason behind the apparent decrease in the number of ethnic Hungarians is the fact that most Roma, who in fact represented 52% (1479) of the village population in 2005, claimed Slovak or Hungarian ethnicity.
