International minority rights instruments scarcely address the questions of mobility and multilingualism. Vojvodina is expected to be a multilingual region in Serbia, an EU-candidate state, according to the laws on language use. Recent migratory trends in Vojvodina\u00a0\u2013 within Serbia and from Serbia to Hungary and other EU states\u00a0\u2013 have changed the \u201cidentity landscape\u201d of a region that possesses deeply anchored multinational\u2013multilingual traditions. An important question, therefore, is how existing legal provisions on language rights could offer protection to minority language speakers. International actors also promote the respect for and protection of minority language rights, reflected in the broad political and normative commitments made by Serbia within the context of EU-accession process. However, this political objective is often not achieved, a frequently observed obstacle being that local authorities see any attempt at implementing those language rights more as a burden than an opportunity. This chapter addresses questions such as: How is the legal framework implemented in practice (<jats:italic>de iure<\/jats:italic> vs. <jats:italic>de facto<\/jats:italic> use of minority languages)? What influence may international norms have on language rights regime? What influence do kin-state policies have?<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1075\/wlp.9.05dob","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,3]],"date-time":"2022-01-03T10:45:26Z","timestamp":1641206726000},"page":"87-108","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Inclusion and mobility in the multilingual region of Vojvodina"],"prefix":"10.1075","author":[{"given":"Edg\u00e1r","family":"Dobos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05q8jhf15","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Institute for Minority Studies (Budapest)"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2870-3456","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"No\u00e9mi","family":"Nagy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/037b5pv06","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Public Service (Budapest)"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0764-088X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bal\u00e1zs","family":"Vizi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05q8jhf15","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Institute for Minority Studies (Budapest)"}]}],"member":"1757","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"CIT0150","first-page":"130","article-title":"\u00c1tlagos \u00e1ll\u00edt\u00e1sok a magyar etnopolitik\u00e1ban","volume-title":"Hegymenet.
