Hungary has secured approximately 92 billion HUF (250.4 million euros) in funding from EEA and Norway grants for the period 2021-2028, aimed at various projects including environmental initiatives, healthcare, local development, culture, and Roma integration.

The agreement was signed by representatives from Hungary, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, marking a significant improvement over the previous funding period where Hungary did not receive its allocated funds due to disputes over civil fund management.

Hungarian Finance Minister András Kármán assured that the spending processes would be public and transparent, with Hungary contributing an additional 12 billion HUF (over 32.6 million euros) from its own budget for co-financing.

Mustață criticized perceived double standards in how rival fan behavior is treated, arguing that offensive chants are common across all teams and should be addressed uniformly.

Representation

Representation

The Roma Council of Montenegro has initiated a proposal for legal measures to ensure direct political representation of Roma in the Montenegrin parliament.

They suggest implementing a special affirmative action model that includes one parliamentary mandate with a low electoral threshold of 0.35% of valid votes.

The Roma community, despite constitutional guarantees, currently lacks direct representation in parliament, and the Council urges legislative bodies to address this issue before the next parliamentary elections.

Whether this is the right approach can definitively be discuyssed. A few lone Roma PMs will not change anything.
