(ii) Concept of Federal Government - Besides, state governments for the two regions have been given maximum powers and the state governments are not treated as the subordinate to the central government.

(iii) Brussels has a separate government in which both the communities have equal representation.

(iv) Community Government: The Belgium model introduced a new concept of third kind of government, i.e., the ‘Community Government’. This government is elected by the people belonging to one language community.

(v) This arrangement ensures the promotion and protection of cultural and linguistic diversity.
