A mobile camper designed to support individuals with disabilities and their families has launched in Panฤevo, Serbia, marking a significant step in extending aid across the country. The initiative, spearheaded by the "Sounds of Hearts Serbia" association and supported by the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs, aims to bring professional assistance directly to people's doorsteps.

Minister Milica ฤurฤ‘eviฤ‡ Stamenkovski described the camper as more than just a vehicle, calling it a "program on the move." She emphasized its goal to reach every person, whether they live in a major city or a remote village. Panฤevo is the first stop, with six families already visited. The camper will then tour other Serbian cities, ensuring that support is accessible nationwide.

The Ministry has allocated over 14 million dinars for this program, with 8.5 million dinars specifically for the purchase of the mobile camper. This vehicle is crucial for reaching citizens who might otherwise be excluded from institutional help due to their geographical location. Professional teams from the association, in collaboration with the Ministry and other institutions, will assess needs and provide on-the-ground support.

In addition to the mobile camper, the Ministry has supported 22 associations for people with disabilities with 268 million dinars in the past year. Looking ahead, the Ministry aims to pass a Law on the Central Register of Persons with Disabilities this year. This legislation is expected to enable more precise public policy creation, better service planning, and more efficient distribution of support for individuals with disabilities across Serbia.
