The report aims to assess the progress achieved, identify flaws and give specific recommendations on how to achieve gender equality in the countries of South-East Europe.

Gardetto stated that as far as legislation is concerned, Serbia has no problems in the sphere of gender equality, but difficulties arise when it comes to implementation of said laws resulting primarily from economic causes and the level of social awareness on the issue. The officials opined that efforts are being made to overcome the situation. They stressed that the media play an important role in education and prevention.

The Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly rapporteur also mentioned that he was pleased with the excellent cooperation with the Serbian delegation to the Council of Europe PA.
