The respondent was ordered to start the activities of eliminating discrimination in a way to enable the educational system to the claimant in their native Bosnian language within the regular curriculum and to provide them textbooks written in the Bosnian language and the Latin script, with the content that will preserve the cultural and national identity, language and religion of the claimant and develop the conciseness of their identity.
