See how much LGBT associations' funding from the Zagreb budget has increased in one year

LGBT associations linked to the Možemo party have seen significant increases in funding from the city budget between 2024 and 2025.

The article discusses the substantial increase in financial support from the Zagreb city budget for LGBT associations affiliated with the Možemo party, highlighting a rise in funding levels between 2024 and 2025. Among these associations, Zagreb Pride reported a funding increase of 56.88%, with their allocation rising from €27,400 in 2024 to €42,979.53 in 2025. Additionally, the Iskorak association experienced a remarkable growth of 174.31%, receiving €26,163.53 in 2025, compared to €9,538.14 two years prior.

Moreover, the article notes that while the Domino association saw a slight decrease in funding—from €235,100 in 2024 to €217,750 in 2025—most organizations linked to the Možemo party recorded growth rates exceeding 50% or even 100%. The House of Flamingo, a transvestite association, reported an astonishing funding increase of 233.33%, going from €1,500 in 2024 to €5,000 in 2025, which reflects a broader trend of increasing budget allocations toward LGBT initiatives within the city.

This increase in funding raises questions about the prioritization of financial resources by the Zagreb city government and reflects a growing acknowledgment of the rights and representation of LGBT communities. The financial support is indicative of the political landscape in Croatia, where support for LGBT rights is increasingly integrated into the agendas of various political parties, including Možemo, and suggests a shift towards more inclusive governance and social support for these communities in the region.
