In the premises of the Human Rights House, on 22 July 2016, Praxis held an informal meeting with a group of interns from the European Commission's Directorate General for Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement during their study visit to Serbia.

During the meeting, we discussed the accession process, especially in the context of the opening of Chapters 23 and 24, and the importance of the issues regulated by these Chapters for the citizens of Serbia. Praxis shared with the interns its experiences regarding the basic challenges in the protection of human rights and the problems faced by minority groups. We especially emphasised the significance of advocacy activities and monitoring of the application of regulations and measures proposed by various action plans and strategies. During the discussion, emphasis was placed on problems in the protection of the rights of the child and the achievement of gender equality. We also talked about the living conditions and the level of exercising the rights of the Roma community in Serbia. The interns were also interested in the current situation of migrants.
