Local Democracy Agency Subotica
The Local Democracy Agency (LDA) Subotica is a local non-governmental organisation working to foster Human Rights and local democracy at a regional level in the Autonomous Province of Voivodina in northern Serbia. It was founded in 1993, as a result of an agreement between the Council of Europe and the local authorities of Subotica. It is part of the Association of the Local Democracy Agencies (ALDA) gathering 11 other LDAs from the Balkans and the Southern Caucasus. LDA Subotica is also involved in a long term partnership with Wolverhampton City Council, UK.

- Dealing with intercultural issues, LDA Subotica is one of the promoters of the EU funded project Regional Partnerships for Intercultural Exchange. It was promoting the Local Partnerships for Tolerance and is taking part in the network of Intercultural Cities of the Council of Europe.
- The LDA Subotica is actively involved in youth work through hosting and sending European Voluntary Services (EVS) volunteers, animating a group of young local volunteers and organising events, training and exchanges related to youth funded by the Youth In Action programme of the European Commission. Through this youth work, we could learn from the experiences of young people in Subotica.
