The Belgrade Declaration sent to the institutions
The network of the Youth Initiative for Human Rights in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Kosovo sent the Belgrade Declaration to all the institutions of the Western Balkan states and the European Union on 10 December 2009, the International Human Rights Day.
The Belgrade Declaration was unanimously adopted by 300 young people from the Western Balkans, the participants of the Belgrade Summit, held from 4 to 6 December. The declaration demands from the Governments of the region to implement all the mechanisms of transitional justice, to implement adopted laws and enable a more active participation of the young in public life.
The Declaration especially asks for the recognition of Kosovo documents in the whole region, as well as support for forming the Regional War Crimes Facts Commission (RECOM).
The Youth Initiative for Human Rights network has invited all the institutions to support the Belgrade Declaration, to implement the reached conclusions of the Summit and in that way open the path for dialogue of the officias and future leaders on the reform of the Western Balkan society and the process of joining the European Union.
