Human rights respected in Serbia, minister says On the occasion of the International Human Rights Day, which is marked on December 10, the minister said that Serbia, however, still had work to do, “especially when it comes to marginalized groups such as Roma”. He added that the implementation of the existing laws was a “big task”. Markovic told reporters that there certainly were no discriminated groups in Serbia and that the government was very active in the human rights area. “The issue of Roma is currently the biggest problem. We have amended several laws so it would be easier for them to get their personal documents and the Justice Ministry still has to change one regulation in order to complete the process,” he explained. The human rights minister told the Serbian citizens that the respect of human rights was a condition for freedom, progress, justice and peace in the world. “Today we should remember all the people who had contributed and are contributing to the idea of the respect of human rights. Each and every one us expect others not to insult them and limit their freedom. All of us should treat the others the same way,” Markovic pointed out. Serbia’s Ombudsman Sasa Jankovic has assessed that Serbia is taking a step toward reaching the guaranteed standards of human rights every day but that it is not doing it fast and efficient enough. He pointed out that decisive sanctioning of violations of human rights and education of citizens in that respect were absolute priorities when it came to the human rights issue in Serbia.
