Scammers
One of the oldest in Belgrade
120 years ago, on May 23, Sultan Abdul Second Ali Hamid recognized the Cincars as a national identity. At that time, the Leko family was already in Serbia, where their people were never recognized
Identity
I'm a Cincarka and I'm not ashamed of it
How does a member of the Cincar people feel while her language and therefore her identity is inexorably disappearing, whose daughter is aware of her roots and they are important to her, but the Cincar people only stumbles, her granddaughter only remembers some songs about holidays, and the country where she has lived for 40 years does not allow members of her people to establish a national council
Scammers in Serbia
We kindly ask you to recognize us as a minority
Merchants, lawyers, bankers, doctors, politicians and other swindlers were the creators of Serbia's modernization, they became part of it, and now it is denying them support to preserve their nation.
Society
Tinkers in Serbia: Finally, there are more than 300 of us
The census confirmed that 327 Cincars live in Serbia. This finally gave this people the right to be recognized by the state as a minority. Cincars have lived here for centuries, and are one of the peoples who founded modern Serbia

Census: Cincari, statistical error
Cincari, one of the peoples who founded modern Serbia, are not a national minority because in the last population census only 263 of them declared that they were of Cincar origin, although there are incomparably more of them. That is why they are classified as a statistical error in the result of the census. In the hope that this will not happen again this October, when the population census will be held in Serbia, we remind you of the text "Chameleons of the Balkans" published in 2015 in issue 1300
Minorities
Cincari: A feat of statistical error
Cincars do not have their own country, their country is any country in which they have settled. That is why they have a language and a culture that makes them Cincars. These days, the Agency for Business Registers accepted the registration of the Cincar PEN Center, so now they are officially recognized as an international non-profit organization in Serbia. In the expectation that after the upcoming census, Serbia will recognize them as a national minority, considering that they left a big mark in its creation, we remind you of the text published in "Vremen" in issue 1573.
Cincar culture
Chameleons of the Balkans
In Serbia, the Cincars have the status of an ethnic and cultural minority, and despite the request of the Cincar community, by a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Cassation, the state refused to recognize the status of a national minority to the Cincars. Who are the Cincars, what mark did they leave in the history of Serbia and what is their culture like?
