Abstract

64 of the basic degree of territorial self government, i.e. municipalities. That was the reason why there was set up a specific legal system for electing the deputies of municipality representation in municipalities where the population consists of representatives of both minority and majority nations. Through this measure the Slovak Republic legally guarantees the participation of persons belonging to national minorities and ethnic groups in the administration of public affairs. In this way, the possibility of discrimination is excluded. In connection with the question of alternative educational system I have the honour to repeatedly assure you that its basis is the application of the principle of voluntary approach. The very title of the above mentioned system of education was used with the aim to emphasize the right of the parents to freely choose one of the two alternatives, i.e. to put their children into a bilingual school or leave them at a school With education in their mother-tongue. In this way the Slovak Republic confirmed that it accepted and utilizes the bilingual system of education which belongs to standard forms of education at schools where the language of education is that of national minorities in all European states.
