Co-operation with local NGOs

The project “MORE – Monitoring and Reporting About the Implementation of International Obligations (NGOs capacity building)” aims at establishing a network of non-governmental organisations which would report on respect for human rights in Serbia. The co-ordinators of the reporting process will be the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and the Child Rights Centre.  The Belgrade Centre, as the project co-ordinator, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with other interested non-governmental organisations. During the project comprehensive reports on human rights and child rights will be published, edited by the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and the Child Rights Centre, respectively.
