Meeting with NGOs and legal advice providers was held on 2 April 2019 in the Office of the Ombudswoman. The purpose of the meeting was to exchange information on the challenges when working with migrants and asylum seekers in the last and this year in order to find solutions for evident problems.
\nDeputy Ombudswoman Maja Kevi\u0107 presented parts of the 2018 Annual Report regarding the state of migrants\u2019 and asylum seekers\u2019 human rights. Solicitors and NGOs findings on difficult and denied access to the aliens\u2019 reception centres were discussed since this might hinder providing legal aid and support to migrants and asylum seekers. With this regard, some orders from the Rule book on accommodation in the alien\u2019s reception centre from November 2018 were argued like, limited access and communication of solicitors as well as of Ombudsman\u2019s staff, with aliens whose freedom of movement is restricted. Although the Office of the Ombudswoman reacted promptly against such orders since they are contrary to the Constitution and relevant laws, the Ministry of Interior announced to make an exception for the Ombudsman\u2019s staff but not for the solicitors.
\nThe participants concluded that the mutual cooperation between all stakeholders would be of great importance for systemic monitoring and improving the migrants\u2019 and asylum seekers\u2019 status in Croatia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
