Bauk said the issue of two scripts had not taken center stage in the best way, especially among the majority people.
This topic was raised in perhaps the most difficult place, Vukovar, where the conflicts because of Croatian and Serbian languages and Latin and Cyrillic scripts were "more between Croats and Croats than Croats and Serbs."
"It is about the relationship between those who were in power before, who passed the laws on bilingualism yet have now had a change of heart, and us who succeeded them and must enforce those laws," said the minister.
Italian Union president Furio Radin suggested opening a service for the Italian national minority in state administration offices in Rijeka as well as establishing the level of bilingualism in state companies in Istria.
Today's talks also addressed the possibility of regulating by law the possibility of the Italian Union taking over the legislative representation of the Italian national minority from the national minority councils in local and regional self-government units.
