It’s not just a strategic goal, it’s a value that sets our common direction. Novi Sad is constantly improving existing services, developing new support models, investing in accessibility and strengthening cooperation with associations and professional institutions, showing that inclusion is part of our daily practice. In 2025, 288 million dinars have been allocated for program activities to support people with disabilities,” said Tatjana Medved.
