B: NATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS D. Christopher Decker * Recent Developments in Romania on the Draft Law on the Status of National Minorities: Déjà Vu All Over Again? The minorities in Romania have claimed for years the need for an act on national minorities. There were several attempts to draft such a law. ...The [Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania] Draft Bill on national minorities and autonomous communities was founded on some concepts not only too sensitive for the Romanian society but which contradicted the Romanian Constitution, such as a "territorial autonomy based on ethnic criteria", "minorities as constituent factors of the state", "minorities as entities of public law". And it is unlikely the Parliament will agree to amend the Constitution in order to adopt such a law. The other draft, issued by the Council for National Minorities, is too weak in terms of protection and meets more the interest of minority associations represented in the Council than the needs of their minorities.
