A two-day training on the fight against discrimination and the protection of minority rights was held within the project F.R.E.D. - Fostering Racial Equality and Diversity
Organized by the Centre for Peace, Nonviolence and Human Rights Osijek, on April 28 and 29, 2025, an education was held at the Faculty of Law in Osijek for national minority councils, civil society organizations, institutions and other stakeholders in the fight against discrimination and intolerance as part of the F.R.E.D. - Fostering Racial Equality and Diversity project, which aims to reduce racism, discrimination and other forms of intolerance based on racial or ethnic origin, skin color and religion.
