Commissioner for the Protection of Equality, Brankica Janković, met with Sandra Konstatzky, Director of the Ombud for Equal Treatment of the Republic of Austria, with whom she discussed common challenges for improving the protection of the rights of citizens who are at increased risk of discrimination.

Janković introduced her Austrian colleague to the competencies and some of the most important activities of the Commissioner, and in the conversation, it was stated that there is room for cooperation between the two institutions, especially given that a significant number of citizens originally from Serbia live and work in Austria. They also discussed the exchange of good practices regarding greater inclusion of older citizens in various areas of social life and the application of modern technologies in the improvement of health and social services for the elderly, as well as the protection of their human rights in the digital environment, on the eve of the conference “My future – who should take care of it? Inclusive society for older persons”, which will be held on October 4 in Belgrade.
