LINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF MINORITIES’ INTEGRATION IN MONTENEGRO: APPLYING EUROPEAN VALUES IN THE CONTEXT OF LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY

Summary/Abstract: The process of accession to the European Union involves establishing an institutional and legal framework that aligns with its norms and values. Montenegro aspires to become a new EU member, but developing a sustainable multicultural policy requires profound changes in value systems. Respect for unity and diversity is crucial for societal prosperity and reflects EU values whose motto is "United in diversity". As a multi-ethnic and multicultural country, Montenegro faces challenges in integrating minority communities, and linguistic aspects play a key role in preserving cultural identity and enabling equal participation of all citizens in social life. This paper analyzes the extent to which European values are applied in Montenegro through support for linguistic diversity and integration of minority communities, focusing on the legal framework and representation of minority languages in the education system and media.
