Minorities contribute to the economic and cultural development of their homeland regions, they are bridge-builders in interregional cooperation, yet their contribution is not always recognised and the resources they can offer are not always put to good use – these were some of the conclusions of FUEN’ two-day conference in Brussels.

Citizens should know their rights. More...Minorities in Germany and Ukraine: Project continuation
