He added that the ministry would like to make primary education available to every child, including Roma and those from the other 33 ethnic communities in Serbia. The minister and the head of the OSCE mission to Serbia, Hans Ola Urstad, signed the agreement, which seeks to create conditions for equal access to proper education, especially for children who were discriminated against or marginalized on account of their ethnic origin. Urstad stated that the role of teaching assistants was very important for bringing Roma children into school, underscoring that prejudice and distrust would continue to burgeon unless those children were enrolled in schools.
