1. Establishing a structured policy and undertaking flexible measures with a view to facilitating the application of the Charter, including any necessary adjustments to the legislation; 2. Ensuring appropriate forms and resources for teaching in minority languages; 3. Establishing a programme for financing of cultural activities and events related to minority languages; 4. Taking appropriate measures to ensure public broadcasters are offering programmes in minority languages; 5. Adopt and use traditional forms of place names in minority languages. - Continued strengthening and expansion of a network of non-governmental organisations of national minorities, especially the Roma, and their networking at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina (there are about 90 officially registered Roma associations, 64 associations of national minorities and nine alliances in Bosnia and Herzegovina). - Bosna and Herzegovina is actively involved in the implementation of various projects of the Council of Europe and the European Union, such as the project on ‘Improvement of Human Rights and Protection of Minorities in South East Europe’, as well as in the work of the Council of Europe, the Committee of Experts on Roma Issues of the Council of Europe – CAHROM, and encourages regional cooperation by organising regional conferences and thematic visits. Bosnia and Herzegovina chaired the process of the 2005-2015 Decade of Roma Inclusion in 2014 and 2015. Through implementation of the above measures, conditions have been created also institutionally enabling national minorities to preserve and develop their ethnic, national, religious and cultural identity and integrate into society of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Recommendation (82) - Bosna and Herzegovina has ensured the involvement of associations of national minorities in the work of state and entity National Minorities Councils with the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina and entity parliaments/National Assembly, as well as the Roma Committee, which was formed in the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, thus ensuring participation of all national minorities in legislative and executive branch. The role and funding of the National Minorities Council at the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH and representatives of national minorities and non-governmental organisations has been strengthened, coupled with their greater involvement in the work of government bodies at state, entity, cantonal and local levels. - In addition to the above activities, the line ministry regularly provides and ensures support to the work and activities of the Roma Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is an advisory and coordinating body, and which also follows and monitors the implementation of both the Strategy and action plans. Budgetary funds for projects of other national minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been allocated this year as well. The decision was adopted to award funds in the amount of BAM 70,000 for the work and activities of associations of national minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina for 2016. 3
