Dear compatriots,

we take the liberty to inform you that the Office for Slovaks Living Abroad adopted the Bylaw on Subsidy Provision as well as the Methodical Instruction for its execution. Both regulations adjust detailed rules, procedures and conditions under which it is possible to ask the Office for Slovaks Living Abroad for financial support for the activities aimed at maintaining and development of the national consciousness and cultural identity of the Slovak minorities and communities abroad.

Subsidies as a financial tool of support are financial resources from the state budget of the Slovak Republic adjusted by Act on Budgetary Rules what is a legal regulation belonging to the competence of the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic and only this entity may change it in the future. In the past year we managed to agree with the aforesaid ministry upon simplification of the rules for subsidy provision and we shall continue in these efforts further in the interest of all of us.
