Vojvodina has just allocated a whopping 64 million dinars to support national minorities. Yes, you read that right – 64 million! But is this really help or just a waste of money? Provincial Secretary Robert Otot proudly handed over contracts to representatives of associations that work to preserve the language, culture, and traditions of national communities. The government increased the budget for this purpose by 30% compared to last year, allowing more associations to receive support. Sounds great, but is the goal really being achieved? Is the money being used efficiently or just going down the drain? The projects include educational, artistic, and social activities promoting multiculturalism and interethnic tolerance. Otot claims the work of these associations is invaluable to local communities. After the budget rebalance is adopted, a new call for funding will be announced in August. But while the money is being handed out, many wonder – where are the concrete results? Is this just another political move or genuine care for national minorities? If you have an opinion, feel free to share it – maybe you know how this money is really being used!
