The number of women representatives in state institutions is also unsatisfactory, it was concluded on Monday at a round table dubbed The Law on Gender Equality - Implementation Possibilities and Challenges. Gender discrimination still alive ccording to Chairman of the government Council for Gender Equality Snezana Lakicevic, one of the reasons the implementation of the law has not been a complete success lies in the country's patriarchal culture, in which a man is expected to have more rights than a woman.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
