The Union of the Blind of Serbia was founded on July 14, 1946. It was established as a result of the blind community’s aspiration to work in an organized manner to achieve their specific needs and interests. It is the only representative organization of blind persons in Serbia and the largest in terms of associations of the blind—both by number of members and by the range of activities it carries out to meet the needs and interests of its members and this category of persons with disabilities in general. Members of the Union are blind and visually impaired individuals from Serbia. There are approximately 12,000 blind and severely visually impaired persons of all ages registered. The Union achieves its declared goals through municipal, inter-municipal, city, and provincial organizations, as well as through the Union’s own governing bodies and about ten permanent working groups. Regular and associate members and collaborators of the Union contribute to these goals on a voluntary basis, while the professional services of the Union and its organizations are engaged professionally. The main goals of the Union are the elimination or alleviation of the severe consequences of blindness and visual impairment, an active and equal life for blind persons alongside those with normal vision. To achieve these broad goals and program objectives, the Union works directly and through the wider community to provide education, vocational training, rehabilitation, and employment for blind and visually impaired individuals, as well as social and health protection. It also ensures the procurement and distribution of specialized aids that compensate for visual impairment in various areas and addresses the specific needs of the blind and visually impaired in culture, publishing, library and information services, and the development of sports, recreation, chess, and other activities for its members. The Union is continuously engaged in advocating for legal and regulatory frameworks to improve the position of blind persons and to ensure that, as individuals with one of the most severe forms of disability a person can experience, they are granted adequate material and social status and compensatory rights to mitigate the consequences of their disability as much as possible.
