Representatives of minorities without a kin-state will form a working group under the FUEN umbrella – First meeting to be held in Rome

- Пресс-релиз

The founding meeting of the Non Kin-State Working Group, under the FUEN umbrella, is set to begin on Monday, November 6th in Rome, Italy. In politically challenging times, it is more important than ever, that minorities with similar characteristics, needs and experiences come together to exchange ideas, discuss their concerns, and form a strong network, which can support them in shaping their future together. The aim of the meeting is therefore to give minority organisation representative without a kin-state, the opportunity to establish a fruitful dialogue and strengthen their connections. Thus their aspiration expressed at the FUEN Congress 2017 in Cluj, Kolozsvár, Klausenburg will become a reality.

The city of Rome, as a founding meeting location, was deliberately chosen, since the Ladins – FUEN members and minority without a kin-state – are facing a historic moment, which is a perfect role-model situation for others. The Italian Parliament has a drafted a constitutional law, which will be adopted in the upcoming weeks. This so called 'Ladin Law' aims to finally eliminate the discrimination against the Ladin minority that still exists in the South Tyrol Statute of Autonomy.

The Non Kin-State Working Group’s first ever official meeting will take place between the 6th and 8th of November 2017 with three working sessions. FUEN President Loránt Vincze will welcome the participants. FUEN Vice President and Member of the Italian Parliament, Daniel Alfreider, will represent the Ladin community.  

 The project was supported by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and funded by the Federal Republic of Germany.
