On the behalf of the National Assembly, around 400 children attending the event were greeted by Dr Vesna Rakonjac, member of the Committee on the Rights of the Child. She told them that the MPs consider it very important that children’s voices be heard at the National Assembly House.

“One of the most important children’s rights is the right to freely speak their mind. Today, we will sing, play, daydream and talk together and write to the MPs, telling them when they should do to make your childhood nicer and more carefree”, said Rakonjac.

Following a short programme, the children proceeded to decorate the plateau in front of the National Assembly House with chalk drawings and messages.
