@article{2018:stoppel:albanien_, title = {Albanien – Das neue Minderheitenschutzgesetz}, year = {2018}, note = {Almost 20 years after having signed and ratified the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, Albania recently passed its own national law for the protection of minorities. In the past, the absence of such an act had been subject to criticism again and again. This article examines the problems and controversies revolving around the difficulties of carrying out a census with reliable rights. It also highlights several minority rights that have been introduced by the new law. The article concludes with a brief overview of the current criticism in the context of the new law, which is partly regarded as a setback, and sheds light on the fact that Albania has not yet signed the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.}, journal = {OER Osteuropa Recht}, pages = {263--270}, author = {Stoppel, Wolfgang}, volume = {64}, number = {2} }
