The Regional Network of the Youth Initiative for Human Rights on Sept. 30 won the prestigious Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize, which has been awarded by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe since 2009.
Ivan Djuric, Program Director of the Youth Initiative for Human Rights in Serbia, said the organization would continue to work on creating a society in which opinions would not be based on prejudice and unreliable information, but rather on personal experiences and knowledge.
"We want to create a region in which it will be possible, acceptable and natural for young people to meet, travel and work together, create positive changes in societies and fall in love, regardless of which Balkan state they come from, like young people do in all of Europe," Djuric stressed in his speech at the award ceremony.
