Summary/Abstract: Ethnic and cultural diversity in Europe requires legal and institutional solutions for enhancing the process of political integration of individuals in the community of European citizens, to such an extent, that the cohesion and political homogeneity be close or similar to the degree of solidarity attained in national communities. By fostering mutual respect and understanding of different cultural and religious values, the legislative and political solutions of national minorities’ issues provide for significant and useful models in this respect. The Romanian experience in minority policy in the last decades can be considered as highly relevant in this regard.
