Abstract: This article investigates the policy of granting linguistic rights to immigrant minorities in European states. It is based on a research project designed as a case study of the Czech Republic. The methods employed are document analysis and semi-structured qualitative interviews. The research shows that since the state does not forward any clear-cut policy towards immigrant minorities, their position mostly depends on their own activity. The main reason why some ethnic groups are treated less favourably is their own lack of interest in maintaining their culture.
