Press Freedom Foundation / Fondacija Sloboda Stampe

The Press Freedom Foundation was established to contribute to the creation of an open and respectable public discourse, primarily within the Hungarian community in Vojvodina/Vajdaság, but also more broadly in Serbia’s and Hungary’s media spaces. We at the Foundation are not committed to, or in league with, any political party, state, individual, or partial interest. We are here to give voice to every constructive idea – and to their critiques as well. We do not shun any honest debate and are ready to conduct, or be conducive to, an open dialog with any dissenting party who accepts the principles of respectful confrontation of rational arguments.

The Foundation was created by people of Vojvodinian descent who – no matter where they currently live in the world – keep returning to the community and honestly care about the well-being and social destiny of their place of birth and its peoples. Our first collaborators were those Hungarian journalists in Vojvodina who had been expelled from party- and state-controlled media, but we welcome anyone with open hearts who wants to work according to the principles above and who accepts the humanistic intellectual mission to contribute to the thriving and prosperity of all in Vojvodina, including members of the Hungarian minority, in a democratic environment.

Mission of the Foundation:

“To promote the protection of human rights, political and minority rights, and democratic values; to promote and advance public transparency, the freedom of the press and of public discourse in the Hungarian language and other languages. The Foundation serves causes of general public value and interest.”
