To better integrate national minorities into public life, the Mission empowers Serbia’s National Minority Councils to exercise their rights in the areas of official use of minority language, education, culture and media. At the same time, the Mission supports efforts to enhance the state language proficiency of national minority students. It also works to support state institutions in improving conditions and mechanisms for the integration of national minorities into the diverse Serbian society. In that endeavour, it works in close partnership with civil society organizations.
