| Summary: | The article presents legal and political aspects of the Strategy of
prevention of and protection against discrimination. This is a binding
commitment from the state given to its citizens in relation to reaching
certain goals, principally towards eliminating discrimination in social life.
The main aim of the presentation is to highlight factors which are necessary
to ensure the Strategy is efficient in combating a culture of intolerance; in
identifying what is necessary in practice to tackle discrimination,
particularly discrimination against unpopular groups; so that a culture of
intolerance among state agencies and organizations of civil society would be
replaced by culture of mutual respect and equal opportunities. The article
considers all categories that may be protected against discrimination, such
as women, LGBT persons, people with disabilities, Roma people, elderly
people, children, refugees, national minorities, internally displaced persons
and people whose health condition might be the ground of discrimination.
