Dům národnostních menšin v Praze - impulzy k uskutečnění záměru a realizace projektu
Sulitka, Andrej
The representatives of the national minorities in Prague iniciated the establishing of the centre of organizations of the national minorities in Prague already after 1993. The idea of creating the House of the national minorities has been than realized in the cooperation between Prague's Comittee for National Minorities and the Government Council for National Minority Affairs. Funding for the reconstruction of the appropriate building was provided by the government from the state budget and, on the other hand, the larger part of the costs was paid from the city budget. The building was handed over to the use of the City's administration as the headquarters of Prague's minority organizations in 2007 and a centre of their social and cultural life.

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.
