The situation with national minorities is a permanent subject of interstate discussions and meetings.

It’s obvious that the foreign policy of certain states and political leaders influence a lot on national minorities’ position and activity.

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.
