Youth and Public Policy in Serbia

Recently, Serbia has made significant strides in developing policies that respond to the concerns of its youth. The adoption of a national Law on Youth in 2011 was a significant step forward in the realization of young people's rights. But young people continue to face significant obstacles on the road from childhood to adulthood. Youth and Public Policy in Serbia sheds light on the opportunities and challenges confronting young people in Serbia, as well as how Serbia's youth might successfully advocate for policies and reforms that overcome such obstacles.
