Even though it is small, less visible than other national communities, this national community is working hard to develop, to get equal rights and what is maybe the most important, to preserve its identity, which has been threatened. On November 26 we celebrated one of our four national holidays – Day of the Great National Assembly. In addition to this holiday, the Bunjevci community celebrates Veliko Prelo (February 2) , Day of Founding of the Bunjevci National Council (February 2N3) and Day of Duzijanica (August 17).

We try to work with funds that we get from the Republic of Serbia, the Autonomous Province of the Vojvodina and a little money from the city since there are less than 10% of Bunjevci in Subotica, which is why some rights we used to have How would you describe the Bunjevci in the area of Bajski triangle. Problems fa - we have lost. We are special also by the community and what does one first think cing the Bunjevci community are similar fact that the Republic of Serbia is our mot - of when we speak of this community? to problems facing all communities in Ser - herland, while the majority of national bia, they being high mortality rate, emi - For me, as a member of this community,
