National minorities in the context of current developmental trends
Uherek, Zdeněk
The text focuses on the problems of minority organizations in Prague in a situation where Prague has become an open global city, a gateway city, which in the composition of the population and sociability differs significantly from other cities of the Czech Republic. Using the statistical data, the diversity of the population in Prague demonstrated in the text, which along with the excessiveness of tourism makes Prague an extremely challenging environment for the coexistence of the population in the city. A highly diversified society along with the anonymity and segmentarization of the personal lives of individuals is typical for the large city. In this particular environment, associations of national minorities seek their activity and hope to address their compatriots, who are scattered throughout the city. A big change for the life of minorities in the Czech Republic is the decentralization of minority organizations. Individual minority clubs are now often separate entities that establish their own program and are separately managed. Their freedom is compensated by organizational immaturity. They must compete for grants, face problems with co-financing and lack the resources for infrastructure and administrative activities. As research by the Institute of Ethnology of the CR has verified, they lack advisory and coordination assistance, which would aid in the acquisition of European funds, mutual communication and among others ensure that their activities could effectively enrich the people of Prague as a whole. In this context, I appreciate the establishment of the House of National Minorities, which at least partially simplifies communication among the minorities.

Care for the Vietnamese community from the perspective of both countries: Vietnam and the Czech Republic
Brouček, Stanislav
The paper draws attention in clear propositions to the fact that the Vietnamese minority in the Czech Republic is structurally segmented society, but above all it is straddled between Vietnam and the Czech Republic. Vietnamese minority becomes a modern Central European diaspora. Given this fact, it seems that the issue is on the table to seek a coordinated interest (in the paper called the term "care") of the local minority on the part of both countries: Vietnam and the Czech Republic.

On the question of the presence of national minorities in the Czech Republic
Sulitka, Andrej
The articles indicates the basic political starting points on the question of national minorities in the Czech Republic after 1989. The existing Act on Rights of Members of National Minorities (2001) does not provide an exhaustive list of national minorities and minority groups are considered those groups of citizens claiming a nationality other than Czech, which are historically present on the territory of the state, i.e. existing as a permanent part of the society. According to the amended version of the Statute of the Government Council for National Minorities, adopted by the Government in 2013, they are 14 minorities (Belarusian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Hungarian, German, Greek, Polish, Roma, Rusyn, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Ukrainian and Vietnamese).
