Abstract
The participation of the members of national minorities in the political life of the country whose citizens they are presents a specific political, legal and sociological problem. Scientific and expert discussion that deal with a special political representation of national minorities in parliament, stress two points of view- one is based on working out in details the principle of so called positive discrimination. The author is of the opinion that the application of the principle of positive discrimination is justified until particular society reaches such a degree of development where there is no fear of minority nations presence in it's highest representative body.
