Gojkovic on International Day of Persons with Disabilities

On the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia Maja Gojkovic would like to point out that though there has been some progress in the legislation protecting the rights of people with disabilities, they still face insurmountable obstacles.


The National Assembly Speaker urges the institutions, civil society and the media to focus their attention on people with disabilities throughout the year. Only if we work together can we alleviate their poverty, unemployment and social exclusion and remove the obstacles they face in their daily lives.

The Serbian Assembly has this year passed two laws which should improve the position of people with disabilities – the Law on the Use of Sign Language and the Law on the Use of Guide Dogs, and it is still to review the amendments and modifications to the Law on Prevention of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities.
