On the International Human Rights Day, 10 December, Kosovo is still considered to be among places where respect for human rights does not meet the required standards, declared on Tuesday head of the Council for Defense of Human Rights and Freedom (CDHRF), Behxhet Shala. Radio Kosova reports that according to Shala, human rights are violated in Kosovo primarily from socio-economic aspect, since, around 50 percent of the Kosovo population is unemployed. Shala noted that there is also a lack of proper health service, there is no independent judiciary, there is no press freedom, and many other issues that contribute to human rights violations.

Representatives from CDHRF today are visiting several categories in Kosovo, where they assume, there are human rights’ violations, such as retirees, and detention centers around Kosovo.
