I don't know yet but I have been looking and here is what I got which looks to me a very important step to demonstrate that Minorities language Culture and Music can be very much alive.
That was last november,  the young Frisian singer Janna Eijer (22) from Jubbega has won the eighth edition of Liet International, the big international song contest for contemporary songs in European minority languages, in Udine on 19 November. At Liet International songs were in Asturian, Basque, Burgenland-Croatian, Frisian, Friulian, Irish, Ladinian, Rumantsch, Sámi, Scottish Gaelic, Vepsian, Udmurt. The public award went to Coffeeshock Company, an energetic reggae, hiphop, rap band from Burgenland, in the eastern part of Austria.

Now here is what the Council of europe writes on its website, "among the fundamental aims of the Council of Europe today are the protection and promotion of the wealth and diversity of Europe’s cultural heritage. Regional or minority languages are very much part of this heritage. Since 1992, Council of Europe’s Member States have been able to confirm their commitment to the protection of this heritage by ratifying the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages."
Below are the countries that have made the choice to engage policies of protection of that heritage

▪ Armenia▪ Netherlands
▪ Austria▪ Norway
▪ Bosnia-Herzegovina▪ Poland
▪ Croatia▪ Romania
▪ Cyprus▪ Serbia
▪ Czech Republic▪ Slovakia
▪ Denmark▪ Slovenia
▪ Finland▪ Spain
▪ Germany▪ Sweden
▪ Hungary▪ Switzerland
▪ Liechtenstein▪ Ukraine
▪ Luxembourg▪ United Kingdom

As u can see, one country calling itself a core european country... is missing or I m mistaking ;-))
