The Center for Independent Living of Persons with Disabilities of Serbia bases its work on the cross-disability principle, bringing together individuals with various types of physical disabilities united by shared needs and interests. As a long-standing advocacy organization, the Center actively involves persons with disabilities in efforts to influence policies that protect their human rights. The Center was the first in Serbia to accredit a personal assistant training program, through which over 800 individuals have been trained. Many still work across the country, supporting independent living. The Center has significantly influenced how people with disabilities are perceived—from passive recipients of aid to active, equal citizens entitled to full societal participation. It is widely recognized by policymakers, civil society, academia, and the media as a credible and expert partner in promoting inclusion and equality. The Centre has a very active web site that informs members and potential members of important projects they are involved in, donations, and news. It also offers e-library and it is regularly visited by individuals with various disabilities.
