Sažetak
The subject of this article is the protection of minority rights following so-called Cold War until today in Montenegro, with special attention to the rights of political participation as conditio sine qua non for full integration of persons belonging to minorities.
Although it is a part of the state union of Serbia and Montenegro, in which unfortunately people were not immune to all forms of armed conflicts caused by ethnic, national or religious reasons, Montenegro can be characterized as community of multiethnic harmony. Minority protection, as a stability and security issue for the state, has special reflection on Europe as a whole.
The specific historical, social and cultural background of Montenegro gives promise for continuation of interethnic harmony. However, the difficult transition from communism to modern democracy had to be overcome in addition to new ethnic diversity problems and challenges in surroundings.
The diversity (national, ethnic, cultural, linguistic) in Montenegro has always been estimated as part of the richness of society, and especially in new circumstances following the Cold War. Keep with its past, Montenegro must develop and ensure more the political rights of the persons belonging to national minorities. The proposal on Montenegro's New Minority Law is going to contribute at a high level in advancing of political participation of minorities.
