A two-day international scientific and professional conference under the name of: \u201cInterculturality and Education in Minority Languages and Scripts\u201d organized by the Serb National Council (SNV) was held in Zagreb, where it gathered representatives of national minorities as well as teachers and educators who participate in the educational process.<\/h2>\n

Milorad Pupovac, member of the Croatian Parliament and president of the Serb National Council (SNV) said before the beginning of the conference that took place on Monday and Tuesday at the Dubrovnik Hotel in Zagreb, that multiculturalism and interculturalism in some areas in Croatia work well together regardless of language differences.<\/p>\n

However, in some areas, such as Vukovar, he added, unfortunately, there is still a dominant approach in which cooperation, exchange of experiences, and usage of common historical foundations and heritage is not something that should be given the right of citizenship.<\/p>\n

Member of Parliament Furio Radin believes that national minorities can be defined as bridges connecting nations and states. Such a world, according to him, is only somewhat true, and in many situations it is only virtual.<\/p>\n

Dejan Jovi\u0107, a professor from the Faculty of Political Science said in his welcome speech on behalf of the SNV that the international scientific and professional conference is only one of a series of events organised by the Serb National Council because he believed that science is strongly related to education.<\/p>\n

In this sense, he added, we are opposed to any one-sided interpretations and politicizations, especially when it comes to non-scientific and anti-scientific educational practices that we face in Croatia, but also in Europe and the world.<\/p>\n

UN Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues, Fernand de Varennes, participated in the conference as well, warning in his speech that two-thirds of hate speech appearing on social media is directed against minorities, especially against women who are members of minority communities.<\/p>\n
