| Description | The Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia is designed in a spirit of positive relationship towards the ethnic communities. In it the greatest attention is paid to the Italian and Hungarian ethnic ommunities, a special interest towards the Roma community, in addition to provisions which represent the framework for building an appropriate relationship between the state and the preservation of ethnic identity of the members of the newly-formed ethnic communities. A starting point for the protection of ethnic communities in Slovenia is provided by the concepts of ethnically mixed territory and the system of collective rights which the State grants irrespective of numerical strength or proportion of members of ethnic minorities on the ethnically mixed territory. Collective rights pertain to ethnic minorities as objectively existing subjects. However, it depends on the individual members of the ethnic communities when and to what degree they will exercise their granted special rights. The absence of a numerical clause means that the State acknowledges ethnic minorities as a particularly important element in the progress of a territory that is home to several ethnic groups. |
