According to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Aerial_Imagery/Coverage
only Budapest is covered with high resolution pictures in .hu, the
page might need updating (you might want to add Rijeka also), but
generally only small villages that are close to a big, or for other
reasons important, city are available in high resolution.
