The first Roma agricultural cooperative in the Kolubara area was founded in the village of Konjić near Osečina. The agricultural cooperative "Malinari" Konjic, which was established with the help of the consulting company GFA, within the framework of the program of the German Development Agency - GIZ "Inclusion of Roma and other marginalized groups in Serbia", brings together raspberry and blackberry growers, the portal writes. Agromedia. .

The director of the newly formed cooperative, Sinisa Muratovic, says that the fruit growers of this village received support for the establishment of a social enterprise - a cooperative. He notes that thanks to the implementation of this program, the cooperative received agricultural equipment, and farmers received training with mentoring support for fruit production.

"There is currently no active cooperative in our region. We wanted to join forces because we think that together we can do much more and better. We planned to improve our business during the next year, to develop a network of subcontractors, as well as to present ourselves at agricultural fairs and fruit festivals," says Muratovic.

Turkian Redzepi, as a journalist and also a member of the Association of Citizens and Media ROMA WORLD, from Nis, accuses the Ministry of Culture and Information that they never have the means to separate the Roma and the Roma media.

In his objection to the competent ministry, it is said, among other things:

"ROMA World has been carrying out its information task in the most professional manner for years, in the interest of the Roma community in Serbia.

This year, from the planned funds that are allocated to the nationalities through media projects, in the amount of over 320,000 euros, not a single Roma World project was accepted with a simple excuse - they are not innovative.

Last year, when the funds were approved, we were innovative, but this year we are not.

The question arises as to whether the state is interested in the Romanian community or is only interesting when it comes time to vote.

This leads to media darkness for the Romanian community" is part of Turkian Redzepi's tight note sent to the competent ministry
