In Montenegro, during the “Live Library” citizens had the opportunity to talk to Roma and hear about discrimination they had faced with, their successes, goals and needs. The goal of this activity was to reduce ethnical distance and prejudices that are emphasized in our society. Neighbors, cooperators, friends usually don’t know anything about experiences their Roma neighbors, cooperators and friends faced so, such meetings are good opportunity to communicate. Participants at the event assessed it was important to organize more similar activities.
