Tibor Varga

Tibor Varga is the president of the Council for National Minorities in Croatia, where he plays a crucial role in the allocation of funds for cultural programs. Recently, he has been at the center of controversy regarding the significant reduction of financial support to the Serbian weekly 'Novosti', which he stated was due to a mandate focused solely on cultural autonomy. Varga has emphasized the council's independence from political pressures, although his decisions have sparked debates about the intersection of culture and politics in minority media funding.
