Minorities Rights and Freedoms allows material and financial
assistance from domestic and international organizations,
foundations and private entities. If the assistance is provided for
minorities associations, institutions, clubs or non-governmental
organizations by some international donor that the state may
ensure adequate tax, cutoms and other relieves.
According to the General Law on Education the teaching and
learning in mother tongue for persons belonging to national
minorities is provided; “In municipalities inhabited by persons
belonging to national minorities traditionally or in substantial
numbers the teaching and learning is being conducted in their
minorities` languages.” When teaching and learning is conducted
in minorities’ languages it is obligatory to also learn the official
language. A school is obliged to offer a student that follow
classes in a language that is not his or her mother tongue
adequate assistance in teaching a language in which the teaching
process is conducted in that school” ( Article 11 of the Law).
Also, Article 13 of the Law on Minorities Rights and Freedoms
anticipates the right, for persons belonging to national
minorities, to education in their languages and to adequate
representation of their languages in generic and vocational
education, depending upon the number of students and financial
resources in the Republic. These rights are being exercised in
special schools and special classes in regular schools, at all
educational levels.
Article 14 of the Law on Minorities Rights and Freedoms defines
that a class in which a teaching process will be conducted in a
language and script of a minority can be formed for less number
of students than the number planned to be in an institution, and it
can not be less than 50% of the number of students anticipated
with regulations in education areas.
