PODGORICA, Montenegro, 06 January 2010 On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), UNICEF Regional Director for CEE/CIS Steven Allen, together with the Minister of Education Sreten Skuletic and Minister of Labour and Social Welfare Suad Numanovic, gave blind and visually impaired children in Podgorica copies of the Convention printed in the Braille alphabet.

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.
