>brussels has a separate goverment in which both the communities have equal representation

>community goverment is elected by people belonging to all regions and this goverment has the power of taking every decicsion regarding cultural and community affairs

Answer 2

The accomodation model of Belgium was purely based on the modern day democracy:
1. In order to accomodate the Dutch,French and Germans, the Belgian Constitution was reformed 4 times between 1970 and 1973
2. The constitution provided equal representation for both the communties in the Brussels Central Government
3.The state governments weren't subordinates of the Central Government and could take their independent decisions
4. There were community governing bodies made of Germans,Dutch and French individually, irrespective of where they lived. These communities took decisions on language based and other cultural issues.
