Montenegro should make a clear commitment to show that it is not tolerant of discrimination, said activist for the human rights of trans people in the Kvir Montenegro organization, Jovan Ulićević, and added that solidarity among different groups that are at risk is important. On the occasion of the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Discrimination, he said that discrimination is present all over the world due to the strengthening of right-wing, fascist and conservative groups. "Discrimination is quite present in Montenegro, starting with discrimination against women, against children, depending on which class you belong to, not to mention groups that are still on the margins of society, such as gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people" , Ulićević told the PR Center. He stated that solidarity among different groups that are threatened, as well as recognition of their privileges, is important in this fight. "On this day, it is especially important to remind ourselves of the causes of discrimination and to recognize some of our privileges that bring us certain benefits, while for others they are the cause of their oppression," said Ulićević. He explained that in this way it is shown that the personal dignity and integrity of each person are equally important, as well as that all families are equally valuable and valid. Ulićević believes that the Civil Partnership Law, which was initiated by the non-governmental organizations Kvir and Juventas, will provide the opportunity for all families to be legally recognized, regardless of the gender of the partners in those communities.
