Serbian Minister of Labour and Social Policy and President of the National Council for Cooperation with the ICTY Rasim Ljajic said today in talks with a delegation of the monitoring committee of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) that Serbia will fulfill its obligations stemming from Council of Europe membership.
At a meeting with the delegation, led by monitoring committee rapporteurs Andreas Gross and Artemy Karpenko, Ljajic said that these obligations include the ratification of the European Social Charter, which is currently in parliamentary procedure.
He told the Council of Europe delegation that the text of the anti-discrimination law was harmonized and it will soon be viewed by the Serbian government.
Gross expressed satisfaction with the fact that the anti-discrimination law will soon be adopted because it is of key importance for human rights protection.
The monitoring committee expressed interest in the steps being taken to cooperate with the Hague tribunal.
The Minister informed Gross and Karpenko about the activities of the action team in charge of tracing the whereabouts of the two Hague indictees still at large and sought support for Serbia’s EU integration.
