Registration of permanent residence for S.F.  was performed at the address of the Social Welfare Centre in Vranje, following which the Police Department in Vranje issued ID card for the client. Despite the obstacles stemming from imprecision and non-compliance of certain provisions of the by-laws, in deciding, the competent officers primarily had in mind the interest of the party and did not let the strict formal conditions lead to deprivation of access to rights of citizens.

This is one of good practice examples and an example of proceeding of competent services and state bodies that is in accordance with the law and that primarily takes into consideration the interests of citizens. Unfortunately, such practice has not been established everywhere yet, not only because of shortcomings of the by-laws related to the possibility of registration of residence at the address of social welfare centres, but also because of unwillingness of the employees in competent state services to find solutions in their work, based on the existing laws and other regulations, that would protect the rights and interests of individuals, especially members of minorities and marginalized groups
