The President of the Slovenian Parliament, France Cukjati, immediately declared on Ljubljana Television that for his country the rights arising from Article 7 of the Austrian Constitution are a "fact" which cannot be changed. According to the broadcaster, Khola's statement caused a "great commotion" in Slovenian government circles; moreover, Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel recently made it clear to his Austrian colleague Ursula Plassnik that Slovenia regards itself as Yugoslavia's legal successor on this issue. Khol also angered minority leaders in Carinthia, Austria, when he described their refusal to agree to the establishment of only 147 bilingual names for municipalities as "regrettable." Minority organisations are demanding that the Austrian Constitutional Court's ruling be implemented, according to which every community where more than ten percent of minority members live is entitled to a bilingual sign. About 400 municipalities are said to meet this requirement. According to Khola, however, the German-speaking population's opposition to bilingual signs is primarily caused by the fact that after the war Yugoslavia made claims against Austria on territories inhabited by a minority. "The old people still remember it, they have a long memory and associate it with bilingual signs. So we should not worry about them," he said. On the other hand, he condemned unspecified minority "initiatives that want to disturb the harmony in which we live here in Austria." In 1951, 43,000 people declared themselves to be members of the Slovenian minority in Austria, but by 2001 this had fallen to 12,500. Khol rejected criticism that Austria was not supporting the minority. He justified the reduction by saying that "in a tense situation, people do not want to identify with minorities." If there is a "new atmosphere of cooperation," the number of Slovenes in Carinthia will certainly increase, he said. | Austrian politician Andreas Khol denied Slovenia's right to defend the interests of its minority. |
