Nacionalne manjine i hrvatska demokracija

The position of the national minorities in Croatia has been defined either independently or in cooperation with the institutions of international community which has resulted, among other things, in the Constitutional Law on the Rights of National Minorities. This Constitutional Law regulates the rights of the national minorities and formally broadens the scope of the realization of their rights, especially after the ratification of fundamental international documents concerning the protection of national minorities. A special place in this belongs to the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. The overall present political and social situation in Croatia is increasingly conducive to the realization of minority rights.
