Taking part in the panel “Women in peace processes”, MPs Dubravka Filipovski highlighted the importance of the implementation of UNSC Resolution 1325 - Women, Peace and Security, stressing that though the numbers of women in the military and peace operations are on the rise, still, very few women take part in peace processes.

“The introduction of quotas is a good way to boost the engagement of women in peace processes. Ensuring institutional mechanisms and building early warning mechanisms, as well as supporting local women’s initiatives for non-violent resolution of conflicts, is also an important step forward”.

As an example of best practice, MPs Dubravka Filipovski and Marija Obradovic drew attention to the dialogue between influential women and women MPs of Belgrade and Pristina within the “Budva Process”, which is important for the future and building trust.
