Recommendation 1333 (1997)

Recommendation 1333 (1997) on the Aromanian culture and language, often simply referred to as Recommendation 1333 (1997) (Aromanian: Recomandarea 1333 (1997) or Dimãndarea 1333 (1997)^[1]), is a recommendation on Aromanian minority rights by the Council of Europe. It was voted unanimously by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on 24 June 1997 and formally adopted by the Council of Europe on 15 June 1999. Recommendation 1333 (1997) was issued following the efforts of the Union for Aromanian Language and Culture (ULCA) and its founder and president at the time Vasile Barba [bg], and aimed to improve the ethnic rights of the Aromanians on the countries in which they live. Though considered a great success for the Aromanians, it failed to be implemented appropriately in most of the countries it was supposed to.
