Regional debates are organized in order to open issues of the rights of the ethnic communities in the region. This debate will be used for citizens’ information about the existing international and national instruments for protection of minorities’ rights. Invited speakers are familiar with the situation regarding interethnic and intercultural relations. Their participation will be essential for approaching and promoting interethnic relation, understanding the concept of equality between the citizens.
Discussions will be focused on possible institutional solution and promotion of minority rights as well as their protection. Ombudsman from the Regional Office from Stip, Mayor of Municipality of Stip, representatives from NGO’s that work with different ethnic communities and expert for minority rights are invited to participate on this debate. We expect to raise discussions about implementation of national and international standards for protection of ethnic community’s rights in the region.
Through open discussion and questions (there will be open phone line for the viewers to pose questions and comments during the debate) we expect to promote mutual understanding for different ethnic communities and to promote the existing institutions on regional level.
