Following the gradual withdrawal of the Norwegian Refugee Council from former Yugoslavia, national staff of the NRC Civil Rights Projects established four independent national NGOs:
- Civil Rights Project Vukovar and Civil Rights Project Sisak in Croatia;
- Civil Rights Program Kosovo and
- Praxis in Serbia.
The four above-mentioned NGOs acknowledge their common NRC heritage and the usefulness of regional cooperation and a cross-border/boundary approach to the problems of refugees, internally displaced persons and returnees.
The NGOs have decided to continue their regional cooperation, including the following:
- Exchange of information
- Assistance with the implementation of project activities
- Regional advocacy initiatives
- Fundraising initiatives.
