Yesterday, the Chairman of the Committee on Human and Minority Rights and Gender Equality, Meho Omerovic, spoke with the representatives of the National Democratic Institute, organisation TransConflict Serbia and representatives of project Civic activism in south-west Serbia.


The Chairman of the Committee on Human and Minority Rights and Gender Equality stressed that in the Republic of Serbia human and minority rights are guaranteed by the Constitution, ratified international treaties and conventions, as well as adopted legislation. The meeting drew attention to the many problems as regards the implementation of laws in the sphere, focusing on the problems faced by persons belonging to categories still frequently exposed to discrimination such as the Roma, poor, disabled, elderly, women and the LGBT population.
They also discussed the current problem of the elementary school final exam and the oversights made on the occasion, as well as where the responsibility lies, noting that education is the cornerstone and the future of the country.
