Praxis and UNHCR signed the agreement on the implementation of the project “Legal Assistance to Refugees and IDPs and SGBV activities in Serbia”, which will be implemented in the period from January to December 2008. This project will focus on the provision of legal assistance, information and counselling to refugees from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Kosovo in regards to various legal issues, enabling them to make an informed choice in regards to their durable solution, i.e. integration or return.

Praxis will perform legal team field visits throughout Serbia in order to reach out to the most vulnerable refugees and IDPs, accommodated in private accommodation and collective centres. Within this project, Praxis will also provide legal assistance, including in-court representation, information and counselling to refugees and IDPs, identified as SGBV victims, as well as training and awareness-raising on SGBV issues.
