I am delighted to be here today and to give you the first copies of the Convention in the Braille alphabet. I hope it will stimulate you and create an environment where you can fully enjoy your rights and significantly contribute to Montenegros development, said Mr. Allen, while greeting children in the Institute for Education and Professional Rehabilitation of Children with Disabilities.
This is one of the best days of my life, said Nikola Zekic, one of the students, after receiving his copy.
