Government open to cooperation with associations of missing baby parents

Belgrade, 6 March 2020

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic today spoke with representatives of several associations of parents of missing babies about further cooperation and implementation of the Law on Determination of the Status of Newborn Infants suspected to have disappeared from maternity wards in Serbia.

The meeting was attended by representatives of the Belgrade Group of Missing Baby Parents, the Association for the Truth and Justice about Babies and the Belgrade Association for Missing Babies, representatives of the A11 Initiative and the Committee of Lawyers for Human Rights, as well as the Republic Legislation Secretariat, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior.

Brnabic regretted that the meeting was not attended by representatives of the Association of Missing Baby Parents of Serbia and the Association of Missing Baby Parents of Vojvodina, who were also invited.

She stressed that the government is open to continue cooperation and better communication with all parents' associations.

The Prime Minister stressed that the priority is to set up a commission to collect the facts about the status of newborn children suspected to have disappeared from maternity wards in the Republic of Serbia, which was harmonised with amendments to the law shortly before its adoption.

We cannot correct the mistakes that had been made before, but we take responsibility for everything that will be done in the future, the Prime Minister said.
