Mostar kindergarten subsidy funding dispute

Overview

In Mostar, Mayor Mario Kordić announced that kindergarten subsidies for the remainder of the year have been secured through 380,000 euros in financial support from the Government of the Republic of Croatia.

This funding serves as a temporary measure following a political deadlock in the Mostar City Council, where the absence of SDA council members prevented the 24 votes required for a technical budget rebalance. Kordić characterized the blockade as an “abuse of the consociational governance model” and an attempt to use children and parents as political leverage. The funds, secured through discussions with Croatian officials, are expected to maintain subsidies until the 2027 budget is adopted.
