According to the law, there have to be two grants sessions per year, but in 2017 things went slowly due to a new Minister of Culture, who was expected to issue a paper regarding the grant contest regulations, with approval by the Parliament of the Emergency Ordinance regarding the thematical film grants.

In January 2017 the Ministry of Culture changed its name to the Ministry of Culture and National Identity, as one of its main goals in 2017 was to prepare the centennial of the union of 1918.
