Project: Monitoring Serbia’s OSCE Chairmanship14Apr2015
Centre's first press conference on its activities during Serbian OSCE Chairmanship
Centre for Public Policy and other four NGOs, members of the CSO Coordination group, involved in monitoring of implementation of OSCE commitments in the human dimension area in Serbia will present its activities at the press conference on April 16. 2015 (Thursday) at 1 pm in Medija Center. Members of the CSO Coordination group are Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia, Lawyers’ Committee for Human Rights – YUCOM, Humanitarian Law Center, Forum for Ethnic Relations and Public Policy Research Centre.
The goal of the CSO Coalition is to work with the Serbian Chairmanship and OSCE institutions to address OSCE-wide human dimension issues identified as priorities by the Serbian Chairmanship and to use the occasion of the Serbian leadership of the organization to improve implementation of human dimension commitments inside Serbia. For this goal the Coalition identified a number of human dimension issues in Serbia that cause significant concern among civil society organizations and require considerable progress in the presiding country which should lead others by example.
CSO Coalition will contribute to the process of self-assessment of Serbia’s implementation of its human dimension commitments currently prepared by the incoming Serbian Chairmanship.
CSO Coalition works closely with the international network of civil society organizations, Civic Solidarity Platform, which will organize the OSCE Parallel Civil Society Conference in December 2015, on the eve of the OSCE Ministerial Council.
