Recommendations (93) - When it comes to civil registration, there has also been progress achieved in this area for the Roma minority community. The Law on Personal Names in the Federation of BiH prescribed that the entry of a name in the register of births of persons belonging to a national minority may be made in the language and script of the national minority unless opted otherwise. The Law on Vital Records stipulates that the personal name in the certificates and excerpts on the facts and data from vital records for members of minorities is issued written in the language and script in which it had been entered in the records. Regulations in the field of vital records and personal name prescribe a facilitated mode and mechanisms of registration in vital records whereby registrars and other officials, in accordance with the Law on Administrative Procedures, are required to provide assistance and protection of the rights of citizens upon entry in vital records. Thus, Article 52 of the Law on Vital Records (Official Gazette of the FBiH, No. 37/12 and 80/14) stipulates that a municipality, that is, a city, canton and the Federation of BiH must organise free professional assistance for recording in the birth and death register for those with the status of socially vulnerable persons or national minorities, that is, create conditions for all those persons to be enrolled in the birth and death register. When it comes to the registration of such individuals in vital records of municipalities or cities, the municipality, that is, the city must exempt them from the costs and fees of registration in the birth and death register. The guardianship body should appoint a special guardian for the subsequent registration of these individuals in the birth and death register. Education (No. 98-101) – Responses: Exercise of the rights of national minorities in the field of education laid down in the laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina, entities and cantons, can be viewed in two segments, namely: - exercise of the right to education of other minority communities in BiH, and exercise of the right to education of Roma as the largest minority. Exercising the right to education of other minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be provisionally described as integrated in e economic, social, cultural and other structures of the community. Members of the minority communities direct their activities in the field of education primarily towards providing additional classes for children to learn the language of the nation of origin. This function has been successfully achieved thanks to links with diplomatic representatives and non-governmental organisations of countries of origin or it is organised in the framework of the association (NGO) or clubs of economically independent organisations of minorities (Slovenians, Jews, Hungarians). It should also be noted that the census results have not yet been published (exact data on the number of every national minority and ‘Others’ in Bosnia and Herzegovina), and therefore, there is no identification of interests and demands of minorities in terms of these rights under the Law on Protection of Rights of Members of National Minorities. When it comes to the solution of the phenomenon of mono-ethnic schools and ‘two-schoolsunder-one-roof’ in the field of education to eliminate segregation in the education system, it should be noted that this does not apply to national minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Roma national minority in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Instead, this phenomenon 10
