Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes an alternative (complementary) narrative for minority rights protection, which is based on dissociation and expressive language. Minority rights protection, besides the traditionalist thinking, should endeavour to identify the buzzwords that are familiar to the rule-of-law and human rights discourse of the 21st century. This quest should have two aspects: dissociation from the (fake) sovereignty associations and articulation of ethnic discrimination.
