From Marija Kaludjerovic Nikolic, President of HAE Montenegro:

In the past year, HAE Montenegro had its first participation at the HAEi SEE Workshop in Skopje, Macedonia where we presented our mission and goals – and became a full member HAEi.

In December 2018 the Centre for Civic Education organized the FAST FORWARD Human Rights Film Festival (www.ubrzaj.me/en) for the ninth time – and this one was quite special to us as we had the national premiere screening of the film “Special Blood” directed by Natalie Metzger. This was at the same time our first activity in Montenegro with the aim of giving the general public a closer look at HAE as well as the beginning of raising awareness about HAE in our country. After the screening of the film, there was a panel discussion in which Immunologist Maja Gavranovic and I participated. The debate and the premiere of the movie were quite successful. Furthermore, on Montenegro’s national television I had the opportunity to announce the showing of the film and for the first time to publicly speak about HAE and point out the problems that HAE patients face within our country and in the world.
