Office for Kosovo and Metohija and the EU Delegation in Serbia are organizing a  conference on "Free legal assistance for internally displaced persons from Kosovo and Metohija". The conference will take place at the Palace of Serbia.

Deputy director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Dusan Kozarev, Head of Justice, Home Affairs and Social Inclusion of the EU Delegation Nicolas Bisel and the Leader of the project Declan O'Mahony will present the project, forms of legal assistance which are available to internally displaced persons, refugees and returnees.

The Government of the Republic of Serbia and the European Union are committed to continuous provision of legal support to internally displaced persons, refugees and returnees under readmission.

These vulnerable groups lack information, practical assistance and representation by qualified lawyers before the courts. To this end, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija and the EU Delegation in Serbia again started with the mechanism of free legal assistance under the project "Protection and promotion of property rights of internally displaced persons, refugees and returnees based on readmission agreements".

In cities across Serbia are formed six legal teams within the project. The aim is to ensure that these persons reach durable solutions for the unique problems they are facing due to the inability to exercise their rights in places of their origin, especially in connection to the property rights.
