Usvojen Zakon o sprečavanju diskriminacije
osoba sa invaliditetom u Srbiji
Skupština Srbije usvojila je 17. aprila 2006.
godine Zakon o sprečavanju diskriminacije osoba s invaliditetom.
Zakon o sprečavanju diskriminacije osoba s invaliditetom,
kojih u Srbiji ima izmedu 700 i 800 hiljada, definiše sprečavanje
tri vida diskriminacije - neposrednu, posrednu i povredu
načela jednakih prava i obaveza.
Ovaj zakon, koji je usvojen jednoglasno, predviđa stvaranje
uslova koji ce omogućiti ravnopravno uključivanje ovih osoba
u sve životne aktivnosti.
Takođe, predviđeno je i eliminisanje diskriminacije u oblasti
zdravstva, obrazovanja, zapošljavanja i svih drugih segmenata
života i rada, dok su pod pojmom teških oblika diskriminacije
regulisane i netrpeljivost i propagiranje diskriminacije
od javnih vlasti i institucija.
U cilju sprečavanja diskriminacije u oblasti informisanja,
predviđeno je uvođenje svakodnevnog saopštavanja informacija
odgovarajućom tehnologijom simultanog pisanog teksta.
Prihvatanjem poslaničkih amandmana, u ovaj zakon su uključene
i kaznene odredbe za povredu zakonskih normi.
Kaznom od 10.000 do 100.000 dinara kazniće se udruženje
koje odbije da učlani osobu sa invaliditetom, postavi posebne
uslove za njeno učlanjenje ili joj uskrati pravo da bira
i bude birana u organe upravljanja udruženja.
Kaznom od 5.000 do 50.000 kazniće se i odgovorno lice u
udruženju za isti prekršaj.
Kaznom od 10.000 do 100.000 dinara bice kažnjeno i pravno
lice ukoliko odbije da pruži zdravstvenu i drugu uslugu
osobi sa invaliditetom ili odbije prijem u vaspitnu i obrazovnu
ustanovu detetu predškolskog uzrasta, učeniku ili studentu
sa invaliditetom, ukoliko njegova prethodno stečena znanja
i obrazovanje odgovaraju toj ustanovi.
Kaznom od 10.000 do 500.000 dinara kazniće se za prekršaj
nastavnik, vaspitač ili neko drugo lice koje je zaposleno
u obrazovnoj ili vaspitnoj ustanovi, koje stalno ili učestalo
uznemirava, vređa ili omalovažava učenika, studenta ili
dete predškolskog uzrasta zbog njegove invalidnosti.
Kazne od 5.000 do 250.000 dinara predviđene su za prevoznika,
odgovorno lice ili preduzetnika ukoliko odbije da preveze
osobu sa invaliditetom.
U tekst ovog zakona ušao je i amandman kojim je za 1. januar
2007. godine pomeren rok za primenu mera za uključivanje
osoba sa invaliditetom u okruženje, kako bi lokalne samouprave
imale dovoljno vremena da stvore "pristupačno okruženje".

Završetak izrade Nacionalne strategije održivog
razvoja u Crnoj Gori
U Crnoj Gori se krajem mjeseca aprila završavaju aktivnosti
na participativnoj izradi Nacionalne Strategije održivog
razvoja. Proces koji je započeo sredinom prošle godine koordinirao
je Savjet kojem je predsjedavao premijer Milo Đukanovic.
Nevladin sektor bio je predstavljen radnom grupom na čijem
čelu je NVO "MOST". Predstavnik Handicap International-a
za Crnu Goru, Sonja Vasić, kontaktirala je predsjednika
NVO "MOST" sa ciljem da provjeri da li je dat
dovoljan naglasak interesima osoba sa invaliditetom (10
% stanovništva) i osoba starijih od 65 godina (12 % stanovništva
Crne Gore) za rješenja koja se tiču pristupačnosti fizičkog
okruženja. U tom smislu od nje je tražen kratak
elaborat na ovu temu.
Nacrt Strategije biće dat na usvajanje krajem aprila/početkom
maja ove godine.

Hrvatska dobila dnevne novine za slijepe
Pozivom na broj 01/4921-700 je ministrica Kosor u Hrvatskom
savezu slijepih simbolicno pustila u rad tele-novine, u
cije je pokretanje Ministarstvo uložilo oko 32.000
kuna.
Slijepima su za sad dostupni samo clanci Vecernjeg lista,
jer su njihove web-stranice uglavnom tekstualnog sadržaja,
ali ocekuju da ce se i ostale dnevne novine prilagoditi
softveru koji digitalni tekst pretvara u govor.
Cijena poziva jednaka je ostalim pozivima u fiksnoj mreži,
a interes oko 5800 slijepih u Hrvatskoj za dostupnošcu
novinskih clanaka je velik.
"Kad je prije dvije godine pokrenut prvi projekt telefonskog
citanja dnevnih novina slijepima, zvalo je stotinjak ljudi
dnevno", kaže Danko Butorac iz Hrvatskog saveza
slijepih. Taj se projekt ugasio jer su vijesti citali spikeri-volonteri,
pa je izvedba bila preskupa.
Rješenje se pojavilo s web-stranicama dnevnih novina,
na temelju kojih je tvrtka AlfaNum iz Novog Sada razvila
inteligentni govorni automat koji korisniku nudi izbornik
rubrika, naslova i tema. Jednostavnim uputstvima korisnik
bira što želi citati, a racunalo mu zatim tecno
cita izabrani tekst.
U petak su predstavljeni i drugi projekti koje je Savez
napravio uz potporu Ministarstva obitelji, medu kojima su
tiskanje udžbenika za slijepe ucenike, u što je
uloženo pola milijuna kuna, tiskanje prvih prirucnika
za roditelje slijepe predškolske djece, organiziranje
kampova za slijepu djecu i dr.
Kazne vlasnicima zgrada nedostupnih osobama s
invaliditetom u Hrvatskoj
U prosincu prošle godine donesen je Pravilnik o osiguranju
pristupačnosti građevina osobama s invaliditetom i smanjene
pokretljivosti, koji će invalidima uvelike olakšati život
jer bi im trebao povećati pristupačnost građevinama.
Glavni cilj novog pravilnika je, kako smatraju u Ministarstvu
zaštite okoliša i prostornog uređenja, omogućiti primjerenu
pristupačnost građevina javne namjene te stambenih zgrada
osobama smanjene pokretljivosti.
‘Najveće promjene odnose se na detaljnije uređivanje elemenata
pristupačnosti koji se odnose na slijepe i slabovidne osobe
te na gluhe odnosno osobe koje slabije čuju’, tvrdi Lino
Fučić, načelnik u Upravi za graditeljstvo pri Ministarstvu.
Uz to, dodaje Fučić, preciznije je određen popis građevina
koje moraju ispunjavati elemente pristupačnosti, a uređeno
je i pitanje prilagodljivosti stanova.
Ovim se pravilnikom tako propisuju uvjeti projektiranja
i gradnje te način na koji se osigurava nesmetani pristup
i boravak osobama s invaliditetom u tim građevinama. Kada
su elementi pristupačnosti ujedno i dio puta za izlaženje
u slučaju opasnosti, tada moraju ispuniti i zahtjeve po
posebnom propisu.
Vlasnik građevine dužan je održavati elemente pristupačnosti
i ne smije smanjivati uvjete uporabe pomagala osoba s invaliditetom.
‘Ako se vlasnici ili osobe koje su profesionalno uključene
u postupak projektiranja i građenja građevina ne budu pridržavale
obveza iz Pravilnika, sankcionirat će ih se’, tvrdi Fučić.
Budući da se kazne kreću od 10.000 do 100.000 kuna, pretpostavlja
se da se malo tko neće pridržavati Pravilnika.
Valja napomenuti da se Pravilnik odnosi na sve građevine
javne i poslovne namjene, već sagrađene i nove, i svaka
će morati ispuniti propisane uvjete pristupačnosti u roku
dvije godine od dana stupanja Pravilnika na snagu, odnosno
do prosinca 2007. godine.
Na pitanje koliko će ove nove promjene stajati građevinare,
Fučić kaže da taj odgovor ne može dati jer je ispunjavanje
zahtjeva iz Pravilnika različito za različite građevine.
‘Troškovi ovise o vrsti građevine, načinu zahvata na njoj,
materijalima. Ukratko, slučajevi nisu ujednačeni, pa se
troškovi procjenjuju u svakom projektu zasebno’, smatra
Fučić.
Bitno je naglasiti da su u izradu Pravilnika bili uključeni
predstavnici udruga za osobe s invaliditetom, a zastupljene
su bile slijepe i slabovidne, gluhe i nagluhe osobe te osobe
koje se kreću u invalidskim kolicima ili koje koriste druga
pomagala.
Povjerenstvo su, uz predstavnike nevladinih udruga i Ministarstva,
činile stručne osobe koje se ovom problematikom bave niz
godina.
110 osobnih asistenata za osobe s invaliditetom
u Hrvatskoj
Ministarstvo obitelji, branitelja i međugeneracijske solidarnosti
započinje s provedbom projekta osobnog asistenta za osobe
s invaliditetom. Osobe koje budu koristile institut osobnog
asistenta neće gubiti prava kojima se koriste na temelju
invalidnosti niti pravo na korištenje ostalih usluga.
Ministarstvo obitelji, branitelja i međugeneracijske solidarnosti
uskoro će početi s provedbom pilot projekta osobnog asistenta,
namijenjenog osobama s najtežom vrstom i stupnjem invaliditeta,
vrijednog 3,5 milijuna kuna. Osim što je cilj projekta
pomoći potrebnim osobama, na ovaj će se način uposliti oko
110 osoba, koje će moći raditi 20 sati tjedno.
»Riječ je o pilot projektu za 2006., a nakon njegove
provedbe vidjet ćemo što treba doraditi, kako bi se
problem mogao sustavno rješavati«, rekla je Vjesniku
Jadranka Kosor, potpredsjednica Vlade i resorna ministrica.
Osobni asistenti moći će biti sve nezaposlene osobe starije
od 18 a mlađe od 65 godina, sa završenom osnovnom školom
i tečajem za njegovatelja ili srednjom stručnom spremom.
Također, kandidati moraju biti članovi udruge koja se prijavljuje
za sudjelovanje u projektu, za što je Ministarstvo
prošloga tjedna raspisalo javni poziv. Članstvo u udrugama,
naime, predstavlja svojevrsnu kontrolu potencijalnih kandidata,
jer podrazumijeva provjeru njihovih sposobnosti, znanja
i motiva kako bi se izbjegle eventualne zloporabe.
Uvođenju instituta osobnog asistenta cilj je, u prvom redu,
unaprijediti život najtežih invalida. U popisu
zadaća i poslova koje bi asistenti trebali obavljati navodi
se, primjerice, higijena (pranje zubi, tuširanje, kupanja,
pranje kose, češljanje, rezanje noktiju), pomoć pri
ustajanju, odijevanju i razodijevanju, hranjenju i piću,
ali i pripremanje obroka, davanje lijekova, obavljanje sitnih
kućanskih poslova, te pratnja i pomoć. Upravo su takvi poslovi
veoma često nesavladive prepreke za mnoge osobe s invaliditetom
a, osim da pomažu u kući, osobni asistenti bili bi
zaduženi i za obavljanje administrativnih poslova,
poput odlazaka liječniku, podizanja uputnica, doznaka, recepata,
plaćanja računa, odlazaka u banku, poštu i slično.
Na ovaj bi se način trebao olakšati život oko
110 najtežih invalida, osoba s tjelesnim oštećenjima,
gluhoslijepih osoba, slijepih osoba s drugim poteškoćama,
te gluhih osoba s dodatnim teškoćama. Proračun projekta
pokrivao bi, osim cijene bruto sata rada osobnog asistenta,
i njegove neizravne troškove, troškove putovanja,
te troškove edukacije. Zarada asistenata trebala bi
iznositi najviše 25 kuna neto po satu asistencije,
a posao bi se odvijao najviše 20 sati tjedno, uz fleksibilno
radno vrijeme. Po gruboj računici, asistenti bi za četiri
sata rada dnevno tijekom pet dana u tjednu, mogli zaraditi
oko tisuću kuna bruto tjedno, odnosno oko četiri tisuće
kuna bruto u jednome mjesecu.
Projekt bi se trebao ravnomjerno provoditi u cijeloj državi,
a osobe s invaliditetom koje budu koristile institut osobnog
asistenta neće gubiti prava kojima se koriste na temelju
invalidnosti, niti pravo na korištenje ostalih usluga.
Osobe s invaliditetom moæi će same sugerirati osobu
koju žele za svog osobnog asistenta, ali, jednako tako,
budu li njome nezadovoljne, zatražiti promjenu. Osobni
asistent, dakako, neće moći biti osoba s kojom je korisnik
ovog prava sklopio ugovor o doživotnom uzdržavanju.

Working Seminar: A Parking Place – One
Step Closer to Accessibility
(Skopje, 29th September 2005)
On 29th September, 2005, Polio Plus will
organize a Working Seminar: A Parking Place – One
Step Closer to Accessibility.
A Parking Place Named Desire is a project which is based
on the principles of the human rights approach, incorporating
the upholding of basic human rights (through legislation)
together with promoting a community spirit of collective
responsibility achieved through the combination of civic
education and awareness raising.
It is not sufficient to change laws – they are made
to be broken. In order to achieve lasting and meaningful
change, any legislative initiative must be accompanied by
supportive mechanisms to facilitate the necessary change
in cultural attitude that enables community ownership of
the issues involved and the commitment and means to rectify
them. This project is supported by the European Initiative
for Democracy and Human Rights, Handicap International,
British Government through the British Embassy in Republic
of Macedonia and the Ministry of Interior of Republic of
Macedonia
The Seminar will be held in the Hotel Continental, Skopje.
More than 60 participants, mayors, presidents of the municipalities’
Councils, representatives from the Traffic Department within
the Ministry of Interior and other relevant individuals

Grantee training in Macedonia
site
Sports and Recreation Activities,
Struga 2005
Grantee training in Macedonia site
Three DPOs from Macedonia were granted
in the frame of the 4th Call for Proposals. Two with the
basic grants (LOTOS CE – PE– Gevgelia, and Star
– Makedonska Kamenica) and
one with the development grant (DPO Message – Negotino).
A grant training was provided On the 11th of June 2005 for
10 people ( 5 from DPOs, 2 from Polio plus and 3 from HI).
This grant training was organized with the aim to introduce
the granted DPOs to the process of writing financial and
narrative reports that give a clear picture of implemented
activities. In addition, DPOs were trained to make an analysis
of whether the activities are well-planned and will successfully
serve the objectives of the project. At the end of the training,
HI staff explained the agreements with Handicap International
that the granted DPOs had signed.
Sports and Recreation Activities, Struga 2005
The Republic Center for Support to Persons with Intellectual
Disabilities– PORAKA has organized and realized sports
and recreation activities in the period from the 16th to
the 19th of June 2005. The activities took place in Struga,
more specifically in the Center for Education of the personnel
of Red Cross.
On the sports fields, 30 beneficiaries of the day centers
from Skopje, Radovis and Ohrid showed their skills in football,
basketball, running, pulling a rope and long jumps. The
recreation part was fulfilled with afternoon parties and
socializing, long walks in Struga and a visit to the church
Plaosnik. The enjoyment of the beneficiaries was most than
obvious, since most of them were without their families
for the first time.
The aim of this activity was achieved: the beneficiaries
of the day centers were actively involved in the sports
and recreational events, and the persons engaged to work
with them during those four days had the opportunity to
find out relevant information regarding the behaviour of
the beneficiaries away from the premises of the day centers.
This information will be of great importance in their further
work related to improvement of the independent living skills.

The Bridge- Connecting Mobility and
Disability
A Project dealing with the mobility problem of disabled
youth. The project’s main aim is to enable disabled
youth to actively participate in creating and developing
civil society by joining events and other activities, which
will be prepared with proper conditions to travel and experience
things that weren’t available for them before.
The aims of the project are:
1. To enable the participation in AEGEE activities for the
disabled youth,
2. To change the perception of the disabled youth (show
that they can and should contribute in building the civil
society),
3. To establish general guidelines for adjusting events
for disabled participants,
4. To improve mobility of the disabled youth,
5. to establish cooperation with organizations helping disabled
with active participation in the society.
The major beneficiaries will be on the one hand the disabled
youth, to whom one hopes to open the door to student organisations
that every year guarantee infinite opportunities for civil
and cultural growth and the integration with different realities,
and the student organisations that will derive from the
presence of disabled members in their list a further opportunity
for growth and the real possibility of confrontation with
problematic conditions strictly related to the defence and
promotion of human rights. The surpassing of habitual cultural
stereotypes, that prevent a proper interaction between the
two worlds, will represent a considerable result packed
with general benefits for the disabled and non disabled.

An exibition of handcrafts in Bugojno
On the 11 th of March 2005 , the Association of Deaf and
Hard of Hearing persons from Bugojno, the CFP3 grantee,
made the first public promotion of the association and its
activities. An important event in the frame of this promotion
was the public petition organized for citizens in order
for them to support activities of this association. Over
500 signatures of support have been collected from citizens
of the Bugojno municipality in more than two hours. The
aim was primarily to inform the civil society about the
existence of the DPOs in their municipality, as well as
about their capacities, strengths and their needs and expectations.
 After
thisa great exhibition of models of houses, handicrafts
made by deaf people from this municipality took place. The
interesting thing that one should mention about this exhibition
is that it took place in the municipal building with a full
support from the mayor. EFOR representatives have also visited
the exhibition and shown great interest for both the activities
of association and the handicrafts made by deaf people from
this municiplaity. The exhibition was opened by Mr. Ibrahim
Coric, chairperson of the Association and the floor was
given to representatives of the authorities on the cantonal
level, of the Prime Minister of Central Bosnia canton.One
of the speakers was the General Secretary of UGOS, Union
at the federal level and representative of Human League
at the Federal level as well. This was good a opportunity
for the organization to develop better contacts with authorities
and it has given to the local philanthropists and municipal
authorities Letters of Acknowledgement for the given support.
This activity was co-financed from the municipal budget.
The activity has been covered by the municipal TV station
RTV Bugojno.

The Vulkan magazine will soon
be published in Kosovo
This is about what is surely going to happen in Kosovo.
We just have hot spa sources reminding us that we are floating
on a hot lava mass.
But this is to be expected.
Don't worry now, we don't want to scare you anymore. Especially
those who live here, there has already been enough of scary
prognosis and scenarios.
What we are talking about is a magazine called Vulcan.
Some serious progress has been made regarding its publication
and dispatching. One of the major investors from Kosovo
will be the post company or the Post Telecom of Kosovo.
This company is dominant in the communication business and
represents a strong partner.
The Handicapkosova made a step forward months ago and the
results are expected now, after several visits and negotiations
with different parties who could be interested in helping
this kind of activities. Handicapkosova made an important
step and SHARE-SEE's contacts and technical support gave
results.
The meeting took place in Pristina with the Vala 900 PTT
director Driton Halili, Mr. Gëzim Abazi, Anke Harris
and the SHARE-SEE local project officer.
The contact is now established and further meetings are
being expected. Both sides have shown a good will to cooperate
and solved the biggest problem until then- funding. The
funds are available now. It is nice to see that the things
are moving.

News from the Association of War
Invalids from the 2nd World War
The status of the War Invalids from the Second World War
has been recognized and they have been supported a long
time before the creation of the organization, but these
days are gone and now they are depending on social welfare.
It is the first time that they applied to an international
Organization with their project and since they have received
a grant some months ago. Although they are elderly persons,
they feel empowered with the new computer and a printer
in their office. The office is a bit smaller now but this
it doesn't stop many of them to come and to be part of it.
Even though this small office of about 10 square meters
is not the right place to have large groups, you can often
find there five or more of them discussing. It is not the
best area for nonsmokers.
But Mr. Osmani, president of the organization, says that
now it is easier for them to visit and contact other PWDs
because they have fuel and the possibility to place adverts
in newspapers.
“We initiated many meetings and created 7 branches until
now, so that PWDs from other municipalities do not have
to come to Prishtina any more in order to be informed about
what is going on”, said Mr. Osmani, injured by a mine in
the 2 nd World War.
Although in very bad conditions, they are always smiling
and it seems that life has taught them how to take things
in a more positive way because their reality is not so optimistic.
They are elderly people who are trying to keep current
with the times.
But one thing is sure: they feel that they are ready and
strong to make things happen with all this new experience.
“Not only we have learned how to contact and cooperate with
the new organizations, but we learned many thing we didn't
know before. And we have the feeling to have somebody to
support us”, said Mr. Osmani.

children with disabilities presented in Pristina

have been presented in the ABC Cinema in Pristine. The event
has been organized by Handikos and Save the Children from
Kosovo. Studies about children with disability and a documentary

, have been presented on the same occasion. The whole campaign
aimed at raising awareness of the wide public on the needs
and rights of children with disabilities.
There is a wide spectrum of people who have assisted to
the premiere: international and local authorities, high
representatives of the civil society, artists and eminent
people from the music and film scene.
A video on the topic of rights of children with disabilities
(staring Loreta Domi, a girl in a wheelchair) has also been
shown first on the presentation and then in the local media.
These activities are expected to have a wide impact on
the community. The film is also going to be shown outside
the borders of Kosova.

A Compendium of Macedonian Legal
Acts pertaining to disability issues promoted in Skopje
 The
31st of March 2005 was a very important day for the
disability movement in Macedonia ( and we believe for the
Region as well). As you all know, Polio Plus has promoted
the publication on International norms and standards for
people with disabilities on the 3rd of December 2004
. An official promotion of the second publication -
A Compendium of Macedonian Legal Acts pertaining to disability
issues together with comments and examples from the
law practice and court cases drawn from the legislative
system in Macedonia took place on that day. We managed
to have the Minister of Justice to be the official
promoter of this book (a very important point: the message
is that disability is not a social issue but a human rights
issue). It has been explicitly said that one of the
benefits from what has been achieved by now is the beginning
of a participative democracy in the process of collaboration
between the government and the DPOs.
We will end this information with the IPPLG commitment stated
by Mrs Popovska on this promotional event :
This is the half way to achieving our goal
We are continuing with our work.
Join us!
