At a meeting held at the beginning of January with the Vice President of the Government of Montenegro Rafet Husović, the regional network of Youth Initiative for Human Rights presented an initiative for institutionalizing a youth exchange program in the countries of Western Balkan.
Youth Initiative for Human Rights (hereinafter YIHR) delivered the copy of the OSCE report “Kosovo: As Seen, As Told” to the Prime Minister and Ministers of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and addressed them the following letter:
Those who were killed in Paris were like us: Some were simple citizens who were killed because they were Jewish. Others were fighting for the liberty of expression. They were anti-racist militants, friendly comrades present during our efforts to establish a more just society, free from racism, anti-Semitism and obscurantism. Among the fallen, there were also police offices, who were charged with the duty of protecting the Charlie Hebdo journalists.
The closing event of the festival “Month of Human Rights” was the concert of Elemental band as well as the debate before the concert with the frontman of the band Mirela Priselac Remi and Marko Šelić Marčelo - a Serbian writer and musician, which took place in Belgrade on December 23.
The director of the library “Simon Piščević” in Šid, Slavica Varičić, prohibited not only the exhibition, but also the rest of the program that was about to happen as a part of the festival “A Month of Human Rights”.
