Model of the Realization of Ethnic Rights of National Minorities in the Republic of Croatia
In: Politicka misao, Volume 34, Issue 5, p. 27-41
Abstract
The authors deal with the model of the realization of ethnic rights of national minorities in the Republic of Croatia. In the states in transition, these rights -- whether ethnic, religious, or linguistic -- have from the very beginning stood in the way of a broader democratization of the society. The issue of administrative regulation & practical realization of the freedoms & rights of national minorities is an important measure & test of the degree of the democratization of a society, & the accomplishment of this goal is one of the requirements for economic & political integration into European institutions. The Republic of Croatia, aware of this, & immediately upon gaining independence, not only provided for the continuation of the rights of the national minorities but also began defining a new -- for a democratic state more appropriate -- model of the realization of minority rights. 13 References.
