Thaci: The rights of persons with dissabilities, a constitutional obligation (Telegrafi)
Kosovo President Hashim Thaci met today the President of the Association of Persons with Special Needs in Kosovo, Agim Vatovci, with whom he discussed about the work done by this organization and the challenges it is facing. On the verge of the International Day of Persons with Dissabilities, Thaci said it is the obligation of all people to respect the Constitution and laws in force, which prohibit the discrimination of these groups in education, health, employment and other services. “The rights of persons with disabilities should not remain only written in laws, but also be implemented strictly. It is the obligation of all of us,” Thaci said. On the other hand, Vatovci said that there is a need for a greater commitment for a greater inclusion of this category in the labor market. He added that the applicable laws are not being implemented by many public institutions, where the employment of persons with disabilities is guaranteed.
