Presented Opportunities of the CERV Program in the Areas of Equality, Non-Discrimination, and Rights

As part of the event "Fight against Racism and Hate Speech in Montenegro: Dialogue on Alignment with European Standards," organized by the Council of Europe in partnership with the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights, the European Union Program Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) was presented. The CERV session was particularly relevant in the context of the Council of Europe event topics, considering the Program's support for initiatives related to equality, non-discrimination, rights protection, and combating racism and other forms of discrimination. Participants had the opportunity to learn about the CERV program, with a special focus on funding opportunities in the areas of equality, non-discrimination, and fundamental rights. The role of the National Contact Point for CERV in Montenegro in providing information and general support to potential applicants was also highlighted. The importance of connecting specific challenges and needs with the Program's priorities and calls was emphasized. The National Contact Point for CERV in Montenegro continues to provide information about the Program, open calls, opportunities for potential applicants, and activities aimed at strengthening the capacities of institutions and organizations to participate in the CERV Program.
