Summary/Abstract: The paper is aimed to present the legal regulation of linguistic rights in Serbia and sanctions or other negative legal consequences imposed in case of violation of these rules, especially from the aspect of official use of national minority languages both in domestic and international legal framework. Besides presentation of language rights that are rightly honoured in many elements, the accent is put on critical analysis of probable sanctions provisions and their efficiency, with special regard to the not so much fair legal practice in Serbia that in most of the cases leaves the wrong without any legal consequences. The goal is to round up those legal provisions that regulate any kind of sanctions or other ways of impeachment in case of violation of linguistic rights, and to evaluate, as far as possible, their productivity in process of enforcement of national minority language rights.
