About

 The OSCE Mission in Kosovo and the police will launch a campaign to inform people about children's rights and reduce begging by children. 

Using television and radio spots, as well as posters and leaflets to be distributed Kosovo-wide, the campaign will inform the public that forcing children to beg is a criminal offence and a serious violation of children's rights.

The campaign is part of the OSCE Mission's proactive police monitoring and co-operation with the police. The OSCE Mission promotes human rights and the rule of law, and supports efforts to foster an effective, accountable and human-rights compliant police service.

The campiagn is a continuation of the efforts to reduce child begging and protect children's rights initiated in 2009.
