OPINION<\/strong><\/p>\n The opinion was given in the proceedings acting upon the complaint filed by I.S. against Ministry of the Interior Affairs of the Republic of Serbia (MUP RS) because of conditions for the competition for enrollment at vocational training in the Center for Basic Police Training of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia. The complaint stated that the Ministry of Interior Affairs announced a competition for enrollment of students for vocational training for performing police activities\u00a0 in the Center for Basic Police Training in Sremska Kamenica and that one of the conditions was that candidates should \u00a0have resided \u00a0at least one year \u00a0in the territory of the police administration for which they compete and by \u00a0doing so \u00a0they have discriminated\u00a0 the\u00a0 applicants on the grounds \u00a0of residence. The statement of the Ministry of Interior Affairs \u00a0stated that a special condition required when applying, according to the Regulations on the criteria for selection of candidates for the students of professional training, that the candidate should have resided at least one year in the territory of the organizational unit for which the \u00a0competition was opened, was \u201cnot provisioned \u00a0as discriminatory\u201d according to Article 2 of Law on \u00a0Non-discrimination and Article 18 of the Labor Law and \u201ctherefore there was no discrimination in the present case.” During the proceedings it was established that the residence is not a criterion that is important for \u00a0selection of\u00a0 the best attendants \u00a0for basic police training and that there is no proportionality between the measures taken and the objective to be achieved, or that the desired goal can be achieved by other means. Commissioner for Protection of Equality gave the opinion that Article 3, paragraph 1, point 2 of the Rules \u00a0on the criteria for selection of candidates for the attendants \u00a0of vocational training, which stipulates that the person who has resided at least one year in the territory of the organizational unit\u00a0 for which the competition was announced\u00a0 has\u00a0 \u00a0the right to participate in the competition for basic police training up to\u00a0 the date \u00a0of the application deadline, I.S. \u00a0was unjustifiably placed in an unequal position on the grounds \u00a0of the residence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia \u00a0was recommended to eliminate the effects of discriminatory treatment of I.S. within 30 days of receipt of the opinion with the recommendation\u00a0 to comply \u00a0the provisions of Article 3, paragraph 1, point\u00a0 2 of the Rules \u00a0on the criteria for selection of candidates for vocational training \u00a0with anti-discrimination legislation, as well as not to violate anti-discrimination laws in the future, within the range of their \u00a0competences.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
