Summary/Abstract: The protection of citizens belonging to national minorities is reflected in the specific form of discrimination based on ethnic origin in the preoccupations of the international communities as regards the promotion and implementation of the non-discrimination principle. Viewed from this prospect, the protection of citizens belonging to different minority ethnic groups from the European Community states is approached in the international and regional legislation in the field of non-discrimination, which makes all norms and mechanisms for implementation of non-discrimination principle be binding also on the citizens belonging to the national minorities. The trend of harmonising the EU law on discrimination is relevant largely also for the legislative and institutional framework needed for minorities’ protection, reason for which we propose in the present study to identify in the already mentioned legislation not only the relevant documents but also the way in which they refer to the ethnic groups.
