News digest: Slovakia’s largest multicultural festival faces FPU-related funding crunch

**Slovakia’s Largest Multicultural Festival Faces Funding Crunch**

The country’s biggest multicultural festival is confronting a financial shortfall linked to the FPU (Funkcionálne prepojené územie) funding mechanism. Organisers have reported that the lack of expected support from the FPU programme threatens the event’s ability to cover key costs, including venue rentals, artist fees and logistical arrangements.

In other news, a strike alert has been issued in northern Slovakia, prompting concerns about potential disruptions to transportation and local businesses. Meanwhile, a Slovak athlete secured a victory at the Canoe Slalom World Cup, adding to the nation’s recent sporting successes. Traffic restrictions are also in place in the capital for Saturday’s night run, as authorities aim to manage pedestrian and vehicle flow during the event.
