Catalogue of the most frequently used Albanian names and surnames
The Catalogue contains 3.134 Albanian names and 530 Albanian surnames with their proper inscriptions in Albanian and in Serbian languages respectively, and in Cyrillic script. It was developed by the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government in partnership with the Government of Serbia Coordination Body for the Municipalities of Preševo, Bujanovac and Medveđa, the National Council of the Albanian National Minority and the OSCE Mission to Serbia. The Catalogue will aid administrative staff working in hospitals, maternity wards and birth registries, who are in direct contact with Albanian language native speakers, to accurately inscribe their personal names in both Albanian and Serbian languages, in official documents, thus contributing to a more effective application of the right to a personal name and its inscription in a minority language. Available only in Albanian and Serbian language.
