With the departure of Head of UNICEF to Montenegro Benjamin Perks Montenegro remains deprived of a great expert and a friend, said Minister for Human and Minority Rights Mehmed Zenka during farewell visit with the outgoing chief of UNICEF and his associates.
Zenka thanked Benjamin Perks for his efforts during the his mandate in Montenegro and the great results he leaves behind him. He expressed confidence in the next mandate that would be just as successful if not even better. In Montenegro, we will continue promoting in the field of protection of children's rights because it requires our greatest vigilance, attention and dedication said Zenka.
The minister praised the campaign "Stop Violence", which was organized by UNICEF at the beginning of the year in cooperation with the Government of Montenegro and noted that it was not easy to achieve that small country becomes an example to other bigger countries, which was achieved with the mentioned campaign.
Benjamin Perks said that it was a great pleasure to work in Montenegro more than five years since Montenegro has a general social potential for fostering respect and human rights. A lot of work has been done during this period, but Perks pointed out that it is the result of a very good cooperation with the Government of Montenegro, whether it concerns the area of education, the inclusion of Roma children in the system, children without parental care, children with disabilities. The largest share in this success is actually merit of Montenegro and Montenegrin society, their willingness to change things and themselves better, said the outgoing head of UNICEF to Montenegro.
UNICEF of team I led was the only catalyst in these processes, we tried to create a good and sustaining connections and make a contribution to systemic changes in Montenegro in the field that we follow, concluded Benjamin Perks.
