Switzerland
"The practice of a religion different from the religion of the majority
does not, in Switzerland, entail any special restrictions or prohibitions,
despite the fact that some foreign countries, on their own territory,
recognize that foreigners of a different religion are free to practise their
religion only in their home and in the limited setting of the family."
Tunisia
"Foreigners, like nationals, benefit from the necessary protection for
the free practice of their religion.
Everyone is guaranteed such protection even under Tunisia's Constitution
(art. 5 ) , provided public order is not disturbed.
However, for the purposes of better organization, the matter can always
be the subject of an agreement between the Tunisian Government and the parties
concerned.
For example, an agreement between the Government of the Republic of
Tunisia and the Holy See was signed at the Vatican on 27 June 1964 and it sets
out the conditions for engaging in religious worship and for the establishment
of the Catholic Church in Tunisia."
Uruguay
"Foreigners, regardless of the reasons for which they are living on
Uruguayan territory, enjoy the same rights of freedom of expression and
association as do the other inhabitants of the country. Similarly, they are
under a legal obligation not to form illegal associations and to ensure that
practice of their religion does not in itself entail acts contrary to the law
and to public morals."
Yugo s1avia
"Foreign nationals are free to practise their faith in Yugoslavia without
restriction. There is only one kind of restriction - the requirement of prior
notification to local internal affairs authorities by foreign priests who wish
to perform religious services for either Yugoslav or foreign nationals
although, in practice, this notification is not insisted upon.
Foreign residents in Yugoslavia practise their religion freely in the
places of worship used by corresponding Yugoslav religious communities. In
tourist resorts where large groups of visitors speak a foreign language
(German, Italian, etc.), religious services are provided in those languages,
and, if necessary or if requested by those foreigners, also performed by
priests from their own countries.
Since there is a large Catholic community, two Orthodox religious
communities, many Protestant religious communities and a Muslim community in
Yugoslavia, foreigners have wide possibilities and good conditions to practise
their religion."
