The preparation for ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages was being carried out in the framework of a State inter-agency working group that, together with the Charter secretariat, aimed to find modalities for the implementation of the Charter that would take into account Russian realities and the unique cultural and linguistic diversity of its people. 339. The delegation thanked the non-governmental organizations for their comments and referred to two meetings with civil society representatives held in the Ministry of Justice and covered by the mass media.

It considered the assessment contained in paragraph 86 factually incorrect, but respected the freedom of the Russian Federation to reject any recommendation made during the interactive dialogue of the Working Group. 341. The Russian Federation was of the view that it was not appropriate to discuss substantive issues at this stage and that its position had been clearly set forth in paragraph 86 of the Working Group report, which had been adopted by consensus.
