Summary/Abstract: The polish law on national and ethnic minorities, headed by the provisions of the Polish Constitution, forms a support system that enables the storage, cultivation and development of distinctiveness of those groups. In 2015, it has been ten years since the Act on National and Ethnic Minorities and the Regional Language entered into force. In the article a reflection of political science, which covers the issues concerning the activities of the public administration authorities in the region in favor of minorities and the socio-political organization activity of these groups, was supplemented with practical wisdom. That wisdom was acquired by the author’s multiannual work as a representative of the provincial governor of Opole for national and ethnic minorities.
