Since the establishment of the Carpathian Foundation, the external environment, by which the creation of the Foundation was motivated and its mission was defined, has profoundly changed. In the border regions of the five countries of Carpathian Euroregion - Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and Ukraine - civil society organisations (CSOS) were strengthened. In four out of five countries, the peripheral nature was changed by their accession to the EU.
In connection with the Action Projects Call we collected a bunch of best practices in order to help our applicants. Combating hate speech and hate crime is a priority in our latest call – but this topic might sound a bit abstract. What can be done against hate?

Dear Mr. Secretary of State,
We have read with dismay the statement of Undersecretary of State, Nándor Csepreghy made on the 30th of April 2014 through the press where he called our foundations, as the Operator consortium of the EEA/Norwegian NGO Funds “party-dependent, cheating nobodies”. We find this tone unacceptable - specially from a senior government official - that breached the reputation of our organizations and that we have to reject in the strongest terms.
