Journal Title: EUROLIMES - Year 2016, Vol 22, Issue 22
Abstract
The situation with national minorities is a permanent subject of interstate discussions and meetings. National minorities are the object of increased attention of governments and political powers in particular who are interested in keeping its position and influence abroad. It’s obvious that the foreign policy of certain states and political leaders influence a lot on national minorities’ position and activity. The issue of national minorities is, in the process of European construction, one of the most important aspects that European countries have had to manage. Learning about and researching minorities, for then to transmit knowledge and experience to young people through education, have become an essential pillar of European values on the construction of an intercultural society based on direct and indiscriminate cooperation and collaboration between ethno-religious communities. Throughout the article we are trying to present briefly a special, and we believe a successful model of the integration process of several ethnical and confessional minorities. This is the example of Transylvania.
