The Government of the Republic of Serbia has adopted the National Action Plan (NAP) for the implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 – Women, Peace and Security in the Republic of Serbia (2017 - 2020) by proposal of the Ministry of Defence. The implementation of the previous Action Plan for the period 2010-2015 was assessed as very successful, and the focus was on enhancement of status and safety of women at a local level.
