The problem of protection languages of national minority in europeancountries is connected with necessity of protection minorities themselves.The term „minorities” and the scope of thers rights are open question. Theexistence of a minority in a particular countrys depends on the authorities’acknowledgment of this fact. The state must recognize the existence of minorities within its borders and grant them rights.Protection of the rights of national minorities, including the need to protect the minority language, belong to those issues which are of interest ofinternational organizations and institutions and are also subject to regulation in relevant treaties and international agreements. The identification ofnational minorities takes place through self-categorization and based oncomponents such as: language, cultural heritage, historical memory, community of symbols, territorial boundaries, possibly also religion, constitutingnational identity, and their development and cultivation is most often protected.
