Donor: Neighbourhood Programme of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Duration of the project: January – May 2007

The authors of the individual country reports in the second Regional Human Rights Report endeavoured to highlight the segments of national legislation and especially practices, which are the most disputable from the viewpoint of the respect of human rights, whilst simultaneously abiding by the specified methodology and list of topics. Notwithstanding specific similarities, there are significant differences amongst the legal orders of the countries covered by this Report. Each text in the Regional Human Rights Report 2006, naturally, gives description and analysis of the human rights situation in the given country. The introductions to the national reports are extremely useful as they present the context in which specific rights are exercised or violated. They also give an overview of the political and social circumstances in the specific countries and note the headway in EU accession. The authors would also like to draw the readers’ attention to the comprehensive human rights analyses which are the focus of the 2006 Report – realisation of the right to education, access to law and justice and realisation of rights of at risk and vulnerable groups. The Regional Report consist of the chapters relating the human rights situation in Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. Contributors to this issue are Altin Hazizaj, Elma Tërshana (Shehu), Gorana Mlinarevic, Miroslav Živanovic, Genoveva Tisheva, Tania Tisheva, Teodora Tsanovska, Marta Vidakovic Mukic, Albert Musliu, Jonuz Abdullai, Siniša Bjekovic, Nenad Koprivica, Dina Dobrkovic, Igor Bandovic and Jovan Nicic.
