Vice President Abazović emphasized the importance of approaching these matters with greater sensitivity in the future. It is our duty to make additional efforts to implement the strategies, while the development of our country should be accompanied by greater inclusion of persons with disabilities, said Abazović. He pointed out that without the inclusiveness of the institutions of the system, one cannot move forward. "We are not inclusive enough not only when it comes to people with disabilities, but as a society in general, which is a stumbling block to integration processes.
