The first day<br>of the forum concluded with a visit by participants to the Subotica\/Szabadka border region.<br>On the second day of the forum, the first discussion was on the role of minorities in candidate<br>countries in the EU accession process.

He emphasized that this situation creates a double<br>standard, and that a state like Greece, an EU member for decades, does not even recognize the<br>existence of any national minorities within its territory.<br>The forum concluded with the reading of the conference declaration following the final<br>session on sports and cross-border cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"10719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1-7-769x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1-7-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1-7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1-7-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1-7-1153x1536.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1-7.jpg 1537w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"10720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-1-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-1-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-1-1-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-1-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"10721\" src=\"https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-6-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.btaytd.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-6.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FUEN European Minority Regions Forum took place in Novi Sad, Serbia, in theAutonomous Region of Vojvodina from June 26-28, 2025.
