Sažetak
The focus of this article is an analysis of possibilities of effectuating langua-ge regimes in the EU with a review of the implementation of multilingual policy through the language regime Pure full multilingualism. EU instituti-ons call for that regime in a whole variety of documents but in practice they tend to implement other regimes (Monolingualism, Reduced multilingualism, Asymmetric systems, Controlled multilingualism and Full multilingualism with management correctives) justifying that on the grounds of applying the prin- ciples of practicality and efficiency. Though, Pure full multilingualism seems to be the best solution because of a variety of its advantages. By carrying out this regime, a full development of linguistic diversity in the European soci-ety would be allowed and, also, freedom of mobility and migrations within Europe would be encouraged. Its impact on the promotion of multilingual economy and economic positioning of EU on global economy scene would be consequential. No less important would be that its impact on providing all the citizens with complete access to EU legislation, procedures and information in their own language.
