Minister without portfolio in charge of gender equality, prevention of violence against women and economic and political empowerment of women Tatjana Macura stated today in Chișinău that both Serbia and Moldova are committed to the process of European integration, and that joint action and partnership in the field of women’s empowerment can further contribute to this process.

Serbia, Moldova as examples of good practice in field of gender equality
Belgrade/Chișinău,

Macura underlined that Moldova and Serbia currently serve as examples of good practice among candidate countries.
She pointed out that in Moldova, both the head of state and the minister of the interior are women, and that a large number of women are active in political life. Serbia, on the other hand, has already achieved significant results in the field of women’s political participation.
She recalled that, according to the Women’s Power Index, Serbia is ranked 22nd in the world, 11th in Europe and first in the region, which, as she noted, confirms the country’s continued progress in strengthening gender equality.
Macura is visiting Chișinău, where she is taking part in a conference dedicated to enhancing the role of women in the fields of security and peace over the next 25 years, opened by Moldova’s Minister of Internal Affairs Daniela Misail-Nichitin and European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos.
She addressed a panel dedicated to building partnerships between governments, civil society organisations and international donors, noting that Serbia has developed strong cooperation with numerous international organisations, primarily United Nations agencies and the Delegation of the European Union to Serbia.
Macura recalled that the office she heads supported 82 civil society organisations last year, allocating one-third of its total budget for that purpose, and as many as 104 organisations this year, confirming a clear intention to continue building partnerships.
She concluded that the participation of women in political and economic life, as well as in the areas of peace and security, is one of the priority goals of the Government of Serbia, expressing confidence that such an approach will continue in the future.
