The Citizens' Association "Roditelji za roditelje" in Jablanica has been advocating for the establishment of an inclusive center in the municipality through the campaign "Be my friend" for several months. This initiative aims to provide the necessary support for children with developmental difficulties and their families. By establishing the first center of this kind in Jablanica, which would serve as a support space for both children and parents, the conditions for the growth and development of children with developmental challenges, as well as learning through play in an inclusive environment, would be created.

For the establishment of the inclusive center, support from local authorities is essential. Therefore, the Citizens' Association has held meetings with the mayor of Jablanica, as well as with councilors in the Municipal Council of Jablanica. During these meetings, support was expressed for finding the best and most acceptable solutions.

In addition, visits were organized to other inclusive centers, leading to mutually beneficial collaboration. During these visits, valuable experiences and best practices were exchanged, which will aid in shaping and realizing the vision of the future center.

"We believe that these discussions have laid the foundation for further collaboration, emphasizing the importance of an inclusive approach that will encompass all aspects of our community's development. Building a support network through collaboration with local organizations and professionals is crucial for success. Every initiative taken in this area should be designed with a focus on the needs of children and their families. In this way, we can ensure that all members of our community have equal opportunities for growth and development", state the Citizens' Association "Roditelji za roditelje" Jablanica.

The synergy of the joint efforts of all stakeholders - municipal administration, citizens, and civil society - is crucial for creating an inclusive environment that will enable children with developmental difficulties to reach their full potential.
