The Hungarian delegation refused several Czechoslovak proposals. The Czechoslovak delegation offered Hungary the creation of an autonomous Hungarian territory within Slovakia. Kánya characterised the proposal as a "bad joke" and declared that it was "absolutely impossible to discuss this question". Czechoslovakia then offered to cede Great Rye Island (Slovak: "Žitný ostrov", Hungarian: "Csallóköz", 1838 km2, with 105,418 inhabitants, almost all were Hungarians), the creation of a free port in the town of Komárno and a population exchange in the remaining frontier regions.
