Serbian Minister of Labour and Social Policy Rasim Ljajic said that according to the latest estimates, there are around 12,000 blind and visually challenged persons in Serbia, many of whom are students. This is why such publications in Braille are very important.
According to Ljajic, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy will endorse all publishers as well as private companies who wish to help that more books in Braille are published.
Ljajic stressed that the Ministry’s key project in the upcoming period will be speech software, which turns text into audio format and enables the blind to read books on computer screens.
The plan is to help all disabled persons to be informed and improve the quality of their lives, said Ljajic.
Representative of the Serbian Association of the Blind Ranko Buric said that few books in Braille alphabet are published in Serbia and stressed that this branch of publishing must have a distinct place in this sector.
According to Buric, there must also be audio books so that blind people could read books from cover to cover in audio format.
