"Despite past cooperation and achieved results, there is room for improving cooperation, especially because the topics of common interest of the Ministry of Interior and UNICEF are always current and should be worked on thoroughly and continuously," said Minister Sekulović.
The head of UNICEF in Montenegro, Juan Santander, announced that UNICEF will continue to support initiatives that contribute to the creation of a society of equal rights and opportunities for every child, with a special emphasis on those who are most vulnerable, and it is important to improve the system of security and treatment of children in contact with the law.
