This morning five EU member states Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy and UK, held another meeting dedicated to a wider discussion on the the topic 'inter-ethnic issues involving minorities', with the aim of strengthening their possible jointly position towards minorities.
However the agreement regarding this topic has not passed, the representative of Italy Ms. Tjaša Božič said that "one of the member states does not recognize minorities". Despite that, Union still stand united in order to tackle violence, hate crime and discrimination against minorities, since they feel a duty that each individual should enjoy human rights, equality and should not be the subject of discrimination. As all of the member states, except France, are signatories of the Working paper on minorities, proposed by UK, South Africa and India, they pointed out the importance of inclusion of clause on terrorism.
Later this day, when we receive the answers from all EU states, we will prepare special article on management of the minority issue within the Union. Stay tuned :)
