Sažetak
Cultural protection of the minorities is seen as an almost ideal framework for the protection of ethnic and national communities. Its instruments are used for the protection of ethnic and national identity. These instruments have been used to protect cultural values as the basis of the entire community as well. Although the ethnicity scholars do not share unique attitude towards culture, cultural values, and also their influence on the ethnic and national identity, it is hard to imagine modern minority policy without of cultural instruments. Only their protection could secure existence of the ethnic and national communities. The most powerful instrument of the cultural minority protection is their native language, which makes an inseparable part of the ethnic and national identity. Means of cultural protection include numerous instruments, such as education using their native language, providing the information in the minority language, creating cultural associations and institutions which gather representatives of the minority community, as well as symbols of the community in question.
