The Activity Plan Proposal was presented by Committee Chairman Meho Omerovic who announced that the practice of having sittings outside of the National Assembly seat with the support of the OSCE Mission would continue. The plan also includes expert support in the form of seminars on European human rights protection practice for the Committee members. The Committee is to actively cooperate with the other parliamentary committees in order to deal with certain issues in a more comprehensive manner. By the end of the year the Committee is going to organise a public hearing on “Freedom of Thought and Expression”. In the coming period the Committee will also deliberate on the possible increased representation of national minorities in the courts and the police.

The Committee then proceeded to discuss the request of the Enough is Enough Parliamentary Group to change the seating plan at the National Assembly hall during plenary sessions, especially in the case of MP Ljupka Mihajlovska as a person with a disability. Omerovic reminded the Committee that this seating plan is temporary, as well as of the fact that the Committee members cannot vote on this request because it lies within the purview of the Committee on Administrative, Budgetary, Mandate and Immunity Issues.

The sitting was attended by the following Committee members and deputy members: Olena Papuga, Milena Turk, Stefana Miladinovic, Nikola Jolovic, Ljibuska Lakatos, Marija Janjusevic, Fatmir Hasani, Enis Imamovic, Milanka Jevtovic Vukojicic, Maja Videnovic, Tatjana Macura, Olivera Ognjanovic and Ljiljana Malusic.

The sitting was chaired by Committee Chairman Meho Omerovic.
