Sažetak
This paper examines whether gender equality in public life has been achieved by assessing
gender parity in national minority councils and representative bodies of local and regional selfgovernment
units. A comparison of the gender composition of minority elections with that of
local elections reveals that women are represented in national minority councils (including the
institution of national minority representatives) at a slightly higher rate than in representative
bodies of local and regional self-government units elected in local elections. This is the case despite
the fact that a minimum quota of 40% for the underrepresented gender on electoral lists
has not been legally mandated for the election of these political and public decision-making
bodies.
