Hungary 1.2.6

As described above, different cultural affairs are under different ministries. In particular, the management of cultural heritage is separate from the rest. It is typical that the Prime Minister himself creates government commissioners, public foundations and agencies to distribute funds for the management of what he considers to be important issues. This can have the advantage of efficiency, but the disadvantage of unpredictability and lack of transparency. Of the non-governmental organisations, the government only cooperates with those over which it has control. In the absence of structured communication about the operations of the cultural government, the details of the co-operation are not transparent.
