Highlights
Dear children,
When adults make decisions about your life and about the things that matter to you, they need to bear in mind that your needs come first. The first question they must ask is “What is the best for this child?” Every decision made by adults must represent the best solution for you. This is called the best interest of the child.
We have taken into account the best interest of the child during the preparation of the plan to be implemented in the next five years in Montenegro, with the aim of ensuring that the rights of all girls and boys in our country are respected.
The plan is presented in the document the Strategy for Exercising the Rights of the Child, but we will here call it the Plan for Exercising the Rights of the Child.
The Plan for Exercising the Rights of the Child was prepared together by children and adults, and your involvement has really helped us understand what children and young people, like you, think and, most importantly, what steps we can take together that are in the best interest of the child and that create a child-friendly environment.
Why is it important for you to become familiar with this Plan? Because it concerns you – children! You will know best whether the Plan has been implemented, whether the conditions you live in have improved, whether the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is being complied with. Thus, you will actively participate in all the
processes that affect you and your rights.
Thank you for your participation and we hope to implement the Plan together in full!
