• Balancing political participation and minority rights: the experience of the former Yugoslavia
  By Florian Bieber. The paper compares minority rights situation in the countries of Former Yugoslavia with the overall improvement in human rights protection in the last decade and a half. Minority rights remain largely undefined and international standards in this sphere - vague and evasive. In addition to protection from discrimination, linguistic and educational rights, the concept of minority rights should encompass political participation. The paper proceeds with a review of international legislation which endorses the above claim, and substantiates it with empirical evidence from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia which demonstrates that political re-presentation alone is not sufficient to protect the rights of minorities
