In addition, within the campaign, architectural barriers were identified in various public institutions in the Municipality of Tešanj. They conducted a detailed examination of public facilities, such as the Health Center, Shooting Range, and Cultural Center, in collaboration with a civil engineer and a representative of the company Euro Prost, specialized in lift installations. The goal was to identify the best solutions for removing architectural barriers and propose a comprehensive project to enable access for persons with disabilities.

In the coming period, we plan to initiate the creation of a database with all persons with disabilities in the area of the Municipality of Tešanj, according to the degree of disability and other relevant data, to access a long-term solution to the problem. We also plan to approach council clubs to support our initiative and adopt our proposals at the council. - stated Emina Brka, on behalf of the campaign Equal Opportunities, Equal Dreams.

The campaign "Equal Opportunities, Equal Dreams" has become a symbol of positive change, proving that collective action and determination can break down barriers and actively work towards a more inclusive society.
