Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of minority and majority ethnic parties in the process of integration of national minorities. The author will try to provide an answer on how to achieve political equality of majority and minority in social and political conditions of the Republic of Serbia. The study is consisted of two parts. First part provides a definition of integration of national minorities, with a special focus on establishing the difference between political and social integration. This part also analyzes different models of political representation of national minorities and its effects on the integration process. Topics of the second part are analyses of the effect of the existing elective system in Serbia. The author then observes minority and majority ethnic parties with the intention to conclude in what degree do the existing parties and their leaders represent the interests of the national minorities, as well as to classify them based on their focus on protecting interests of one or more ethnic communities.
