"Yes, minorities must be respected and their rights must be legislatively guaranteed by the EU Member States. Cultural and linguistic diversity must be preserved, as it is the basis for a healthily functioning Union. However, we will not allow political groups based on a minority position to push for autonomist interests which often challenge the principle of territorial integrity of states, and which, furthermore, often stem from a sense of injustice due to decisions made in the past.
Territorial autonomy on a national basis and, furthermore, not founded on homogeneity, but often politically abusing the minority status of the majority people in a certain micro-region or in a community, is a threat to peaceful life and coexistence in the European Union."@en1
