OPEN DOOR FOR RETURNEES IN VLADICIN HAN

Supported by the Civil association “Udruzenje Roma intelektualaca”, the Free legal aid project organized on the 27th of May 2020 in Vladicin Han the Open door event for returnees upon readmission agreements.

The event was opened by the Key 2 expert of the project Zoran Popovic, who welcomed the gathered after which the project’s readmission officer Ivana Andrejevic and legal adviser Aleksandra Ordic presented the project’s mandate and activities and explained legal issues this category of citizen faces and what the project can do to help them solve those issues. The president of “Udruzenje Roma intelektualaca” Janus Kurtic also addressed to the attendees pointing out how important it is to help these people solve their problems of obtaining personal documents, as well as providing them with relevant information to those returned to the Republic of Serbia from the EU without any documents, while some of them are not event registered with relevant institutions (such as birth registry) and often do not speak Serbian language.

After this official part of the event, the legal adviser Aleksandra Ordic had individual meetings with potential beneficiaries and three beneficiaries of the project whose proceedings before relevant institutions are ongoing.

The Free legal aid project organized so far two events of this kind, in Srbobran and Beocin, and is planning to organize the Open door in other municipalities throughout Serbia with registered higher number of IDPs, refugees and returnees upon readmission agreements.
