ZAGREB, January 1, 2019 – The Central State Office for Croats Abroad approved 1.8 million kuna for projects in the fields of education, culture and sport intended for Croats living outside Croatia plus one-off grants for Croatian diaspora in need in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Germany.

The funds were approved following public calls advertised by the Central State Office for Croats Abroad, and as many as 761 applications were received.

The endorsed grants were allocated to no-profit-making associations and individuals in several countries and their amounts range between 6,000 as one-off grants to 80,000 kuna, which was the highest allocated assistance earmarked to the Croatian National Council in Subotica, in the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina.

The one-off grants amounting to 6,000-8,000 kuna were earmarked for destitute persons.

Also, Croatian expat communities in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and New Zealand were among the recipients.

The contract-signing ceremonies are to be held in January.
