Abstract

Izbor članova vijeća češke nacionalne manjine u Republici Hrvatskoj dio je institucionalnog okvira zaštite manjinskih prava, uređenog Ustavnim zakonom o pravima nacionalnih manjina te Zakonom o izboru vijeća i predstavnika nacionalnih manjina. Ovaj rad analizira pravni okvir, postupak izbora te izazove s kojima se susreće vijeće češke nacionalne manjine. Kroz pregled zakonodavnih izmjena i prakse provedbe izbora, ističe se važnost političke participacije pripadnika manjinskih zajednica. Unatoč formalnoj zajamčenosti prava, praksa pokazuje ograničeni utjecaj vijeća na donošenje odluka u lokalnim samoupravama, financijske prepreke te demografske izazove koji utječu na aktivno sudjelovanje pripadnika češke manjine u političkom životu. Rad ukazuje na nužnost unaprjeđenja financiranja, jačanja političke autonomije vijeća i poticanja mladih pripadnika manjina na uključivanje u manjinsku politiku kako bi se osigurala održivost ovog modela političkog zastupanja.

Abstract (english)

The election of members of the Czech National Minority Council in the Republic of Croatia is part of the institutional framework for the protection of minority rights, regulated by the Constitutional Act on the Rights of National Minorities and the Act on the Election of Councils and Representatives of National Minorities. This paper analyses the legal framework, the election procedure and the challenges faced by the Czech National Minority Council. Through an overview of legislative amendments and the practice of conducting elections, the importance of political participation of members of minority communities is highlighted. Despite the formal guarantee of rights, practice shows the limited influence of the council on decision-making in local governments, financial obstacles and demographic challenges that affect the active participation of members of the Czech minority in political life. The paper points to the necessity of improving financing, strengthening the political autonomy of the council and encouraging young members of minorities to get involved in minority politics in order to ensure the sustainability of this model of political representation.
