The project "Improving participation of communities under 20% in democratic processes”, in addition to its main goal of strengthening the capacity of these communities to improve the conditions for exercising their rights, their political, civil and media representation and presentation of their culture and visibility, contains a specific section which refers to the identification of problems and development of recommendations to improve the cooperation between central and local municipal authorities and the non-governmental sector in the realization of the rights of these communities in the local government.

For the realization of this specific goal within the Project, a research was realized and a survey was conducted in terms of the political, cultural and media representation of communities of less than 20 %, where as pilot research municipalities were taken the following five communities in them: the Roma community in Kocani; The Bosniac community in Veles; the Turkish community in Vrapciste, the Vlach community in Krusevo and the Serbian community in Kumanovo.
