New on MINELRES: Collection of minority related national
legislation 


Dear list members, 

We are glad to announce new page of the MINELRES website - one
containing bilingual collection of minority related national
legislation in the countries of Central Eastern Europe. Although some
country pages are still under construction, the collection already
contains several hundreds of relevant legal texts and might be of
interest to many list members. 

>From the MINELRES homepage ( http://www.riga.lv/minelres/ ), just
follow "National Legislation" link. To our knowledge, this is the
first more or less full collection of the kind available publicly and
free of charge. Compilation of this collection is one of the first
cooperative projects implemented under the auspices of COMIR
(Consortium for Minority Resources).

We will be grateful for any comments, critical remarks, pointing to
missing texts and misspellings (we had - and still have - some
problems with proper reflection of the symbols of national alphabets).
And of course additions to the collection will be most welcome. As you
will see, we still have no texts from the Czech Republic, Albania,
Yugoslavia, and Belarus, we are looking for partners to work out these
pages.  

We would like to express our gratitude to the American Institute of
Peace who sponsored this project. And, of course, implementation of
this project would be absolutely impossible without cooperation of
many people from different countries of Europe. We would like to
sincerely thank all those who greatly contributed into the project,
particularly Krassimir Kanev, Ivana Djuric, Jelena Karzetskaja, Priit
Jarve, Tanel Metlik, Judit Solymosi, Leonid Raihman, Linas Sesickas,
Stanislav Vidtmann, Mirjana Najcevska, Serghei Ostaf, Vladimir
Solonari, Slawomir Lodzinski, Andrea Bogdan, Levente Salat, Rodica
Precupetu, Tatjana Jakovleva, Petra Roter, Vladimir Stroi. We are also
very grateful to the members of the Executive Secretariat of COMIR for
their invaluable advice and assistance. 

Boris
