Abstract
This article focuses on the most recent draft law on the status of national minorities in Romania, specifically on the attempt by the drafters to adopt a form of cultural autonomy based on the Estonian model. The article discusses the recent history of national minorities in Romania and in particular the rise of the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania and the nationalist response by successive governments or at least their acquiescence to nationalist undercurrents. It also examines the cultural autonomy section of the draft law and its similarities to the Estonian model. The article concludes that the draft law could contribute to Romania meeting the Copenhagen Criteria and prevent potential conflict in the country.
