Summary/Abstract: The European Citizens’ Initiative, which has been in operation since April 2012, is a new instrument of the European participatory democracy, inspired by the constitutional development of member states and incorporated into EU Law by the Lisbon Treaty. Citizens’ committees established by members of national minority organisations have attempted to make use of the opportunities provided by this new instrument. This paper analyses the two initiatives that national minorities launched so far and their legal fates, with special emphasis on the impact they had on the evolution of the ECJ’s case law.
