 Poland
Poland now has a largely homogeneous population, its percentage of national or ethnic minorities being one of the lowest in Europe, officially estimated at between 2-3 per cent of the population by the Interior Ministry, and unofficially at between 3.5-4.5 per cent.
The size of minorities in contemporary Poland is difficult to determine with precision since, in the post-war period, censuses have not included questions pertaining to ethnic or national identity (a 1998 law prohibits the collection of information about, among other things, a person's ethnic origin, religious affiliation or membership in religious or political organizations).
The Lemkos (sometimes referred to as Ruthenians or Rusyns) are a distinct ethnic group that inhabited the northern slopes of the Carpathian Mountains for centuries (in the south-east, near the Ukrainian border).
