Unlike two other historic autochthonous minorities of Slovenia, the Hungarians and Italians, the Croats have not been granted the minority status,[REF] although they are the second largest ethnic minority in Slovenia, after the Serbs (also not granted minority status).
In 2006, the Croatian Heritage Foundation along with the Federation of Croatian Societies of Slovenia organized the Week of Slovenian Croats in Zagreb as part of the heritage foundation's annual Croatian minority week.
