According to Paragraph 3, Article 115 of the General Law on Education, in school where teaching process is conducted in a language of a national and ethnic group, public documents are printed and issued in a language of a national minority apart from the official language According to the Constitutions and the laws of the Republic of Montenegro persons belonging to these national minorities exercise their right to being taught the minority language. This right has not been exercised by persons belonging to Roma population minority in Montenegro, who according to last Census has 2601 representatives that makes 0.5% of the whole population of Montenegro. This right is not possible to ensure for Roma because in Montenegro there are no professional personnel for conducting teaching process in Romany language. Also, Romany language is not standardized and there are no adequate textbooks in this language. Croatian minority in Montenegro mainly inhabits Boka Kotorska and it got approval from the Ministry of Education and Science for organizing additional classes in Croatian mother language that is being realized. With financial assistance provided by the Croatian “Matica hrvatska” the professor of Croatian language has been found and he delivers courses to students from Tivat and Kotor. Primary school from Tivat provided a classroom for this purpose. This course is not a part of formal education system.
