Summary/Abstract: The study intends to contribute to the definition of national minorities in the Romanian law, highlighting the points where domestic regulations do not fully meet Romania’s international commitments. The paper will focus on the limitation of the group of national minorities to those already represented in Parliament, on the condition imposed on organizations willing to represent these minorities to obtain a public utility qualification granted by the Government, as well as on the further requisite proof of “representativeness” in 15 counties.
