Autor: ;mses;
ZAGREB, July 5 (Hina) - The National Minorities Council on Wednesday adopted a conclusion by a majority vote on its intention to submit a constitutional complaint in September over non-application of the constitutional law regulating ethnic minorities' rights and over the non-application of law regulating the use of scripts and languages of ethnic minorities if the Central Office of the State Administration fails to offer the council an acceptable answer in the meantime.
ZAGREB, July 5 (Hina) - The National Minorities Council on Wednesday adopted a conclusion by a majority vote on its intention to submit a constitutional complaint in September over non-application of the constitutional law regulating ethnic minorities' rights and over the non-application of law regulating the use of scripts and languages of ethnic minorities if the Central Office of the State Administration fails to offer the council an acceptable answer in the meantime.

Alongside the return of ethnic Serbs, the use of languages and scripts of ethnic minorities was detected as one of the biggest problems in the exercise of rights of minorities.

The council's chairman, Aleksandar Tolnauer, told the press there were different interpretations of the law in concern given that the situation on the ground had been changed.

He expressed conviction that the Croatian government would soon address the matter and solve it in compliance with the constitutional law and the law regulating the use of scripts and languages of ethnic minorities as well as according to standards which had so far been reached in this field.

The council on Wednesday decided to approve 450,000 kuna as the financial assistance to broadcasts in languages of ethnic minorities aired by 17 radio stations.

The parliamentary deputy representing ethnic Czechs and Slovaks, Zdenka Cuhnil, said that of 125 units of local self-government where minorities live, only about 40 of them, that are in Istria, have so far introduced bilingualism.
