The Government remains firmly committed to the principles of justice, humanity and respect for human dignity, and will continue to implement measures that contribute to strengthening social justice and interpersonal trust.

This was announced by the Ministry of Social Welfare, Family Care and Demography, after the Government made a decision to pay one-time financial assistance to the families of victims of the deportation of refugees in 1992, the tragic events in Štrpci in 1993, and the bombings in Murin and Tuzi in 1999.

The decision provides for the payment of assistance in the amount of 100.000 euros per family, distributed over two years - 50.000 euros each in 2025 and 2026.

"The Ministry of Social Welfare, Family Care and Demography initiated and prepared this measure through responsible and dedicated work. This measure carries profound humanitarian and social significance, and represents an important step towards confronting the past and restoring trust in institutions. At the same time, it is an act of institutional recognition and an effort to correct decades of injustice towards families who have been outside the support and protection system for years," the statement reads.
