On the occasion of April 14, the Memorial Day for Survivors of Sexual Violence during the Kosovo War, Women in Black, the Autonomous Women’s Center, and the Youth Initiative for Human Rights are organizing a street action on April 14, 2026, at 12:00 at Republic Square in Belgrade.
The Youth Initiative for Human Rights delivered to the City of Sarajevo a letter of solidarity from citizens of Serbia on the occasion of the killing of civilians at the Markale market on February 5, 1994. The letter was symbolically handed over on April 7 to the Deputy Mayor of Sarajevo, Predrag Puharić.
Youth Initiative for Human Rights demands from the relevant prosecutor's offices the immediate prosecution of all attacks on journalists, election observers, political actors and citizens that occurred in several municipalities in Serbia, where local elections were held on March 29, 2026. Due to the failure of the police to prevent violence and arrest the perpetrators, we demand an urgent session of the Internal Affairs Committee of the National Assembly of Serbia, where the work of the police during the election day will be discussed.
The Youth Initiative for Human Rights gathered 10 representatives of civil society organizations, victims’ associations, and institutions at a roundtable held on March 18, 2026, in Belgrade. The meeting discussed the implementation of recommendations for improving the reconciliation process that were developed during the Berlin Process Civil Society Forum 2025.
During the night between March 15 and 16, the far-right group Narodne patrole once again targeted the premises of the Youth Initiative for Human Rights (YIHR). Members of the group pasted multiple posters denying the genocide in Srebrenica, as well as denying the Jewish and Roma victims of genocide in the Independent State of Croatia (NDH). This marks the third attack by Narodne Patrole on YIHR in the past three years. Another target of Narodne Patrole were the premises of the Movement of Free Citizens (PSG) in Belgrade.
