The Advisory and Coordination Group for the rights of the LGBTI community met on 25 July in Pristina to coordinate activities performed by institutions and civil society and to adopt a plan to strengthen the protection and fulfilment of the rights of the LGBTI community. The meeting was organised in cooperation with the Office of Good Governance, the Prime Minister’s Office, NGOs Centre for Equality and Liberty and Center for Social Group Development.


 

During the morning session the members of the group discussed the main achievements and challenges of the functioning of the Advisory Group and the challenges that the LGBTI community is facing. The afternoon session focused on the way ahead on developing the new Action Plan on promoting and protecting the rights of LGBTI community for the period 2024 – 2026.
