The purpose of this guide is to give Roma and Sinti activists an easily accessible overview of the relevant international and regional human rights standards on forced evictions, with a particular focus on the findings of international and regional human rights tribunals in relation to Roma and Sinti evictions. In addition, by including numerous references to the judgments and decisions of international human rights courts, Roma and Sinti activists can familiarize themselves with these decisions and draw them to the attention of the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and human rights lawyers with whom they cooperate. These can then be incorporated into their legal advocacy and litigation, rendering them more effective.

Within the process of the OSCE Mission's support to implementation and institutionalization of gender equality policies at all levels of governance in Serbia, the OSCE Mission engaged prominent national experts in the field of linguistics and gender to prepare the “Guide on Use of Gender Sensitive Language in Public Administration” in 2019.  The use of gender sensitive and non-discriminatory language in public administration powerfully reflects and influences attitudes, behaviors and perceptions of different social groups.  This Guide is prepared as a “reader friendly” tool, offering all relevant recommendations and guidance to better use of gender fair and inclusive language. As such, the Guide should not constrain employees in public administration, including local self-governments, and impose on them a mandatory set of rules. Rather, it should encourage them to give due consideration to the issue of gender sensitivity and non-discrimination in their daily written and spoken communications. The publication is available in Serbian language only.
