In accordance with the author there is no abstract answer in relation to the alternative emphasized in the title of this article (cultural or territorial). Actually, the concrete answer is dependent on the following dimensions: relations between the majority and minority elites, socio-economic situation in the given country, the capacity of the government to deal with the confl icts, the institutionalization of the relations between majorities and minorities.
