the progress in certain fields is noticeable, if these accomplishments are analyzed from the perspective of measure and activity implementation designated by the Government of the Republic of Serbia with the aim of the suppression of poverty of Roma and reduction of socialeconomic differences, the results are very limited. Although by the Decision107 of the Government the Coordination Body for Monitoring the Implemntation of the Strategy for Social Inclusion of Roma was established, it should be emphasized that this body published its last report on the implementation of the Strategy in 2017 and not as a separate report but within reporting for Chapter 23 in the negotiation process with the European Union. For 2018 and 2019 special reports on the implementation of the Strategy were not prepared. In 2019 the need was recognized to perceive the scope of persons who are not registered at birth registry or who failed to exercise some other right from the personal status with the special focus on the entry of children as well as the condition in labor or application of regulations by the registry service in the procedures for the exercise of these rights. Therefore, on 3rd October, 2019, new Memorandum of Understanding among the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government, the Protector of Citizens and UNHCR was signed, with the 2-year expiration date. Taking into account the results of the previous Memorandum of Understanding which was jointly implemented by the Protector of Citizens, Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government and UNHCR from 2012 to 2016, the Protector of Citizens believes that by signing of the new Memorandum, which will establish this unique system of cooperation between independent bodies, public authorities and international organizations is the right manner to solve remaining issues referring to solving of status matters which predominantly affect those most sensitive ones, i.e. members of the Roma national minority. The subject of this Memorandum is still the cooperation in the perception of potential problems of the members of Roma national minority in the exercise of the right to entry in the birth registry as well as other rights from the personal status with the special emphasis to newborns, with the aim of the prevention of the risk of statelessness. In accordance with defined goals of this Memorandum and his competences, the Protector of Citizens shall without any delay react to the cases of the violation of rights in the entry procedure and subsequent entry of the facts of birth into the birth registry and inform parties to the Memorandum on issued recommendations with the aim of more efficient solving of these matters hoping that by the end of the implementation of the Memorandum, i.e. by 2021 the remaining issues in this field will be completely solved.
