Mihai Corca stresses in its present organization university education in mother tongue from Romania has comparable terms neither in Europe nor in any other part of the world.

Statement also stresses international conventions' stipulations signed by Romania concerning the matter do not force Romanian state to organize a monolingual education for minorities in state universities. Both Council of Europe and OSCE High Commissioner engourage clearly reform of university education from Romania towards a multicultural mission and not a separate development of university education for minorities. Secretary of state Mihai Corca also specifies during university year 1998-1999 there are organized study lines in Hungarian language in 17 faculties with more than 40 academical specializations and in 5 university colleges with 7 specializations and in German language study for 12 specializations.
