This report highlights the efforts of Serbia to continue
funding and implementation of the national HIV
response which had been significantly supported
by the GF from 2003 to 2014 and resulted in an
intensified communication and consultation between
governmental and NGO sector. Serbia has a long
tradition in national HIV programming. There is
clear evidence that the most effective programmes
are those in which civil society's role, engagement in
providing prevention, care and support services for key
populations and PLHIV and established partnership
with other relevant stakeholders are strongest and
equitable. Moreover, interventions should be supported
by enabling legal and policy frameworks. This includes
measures to increase availability and access to different
services and to minimize law enforcement and other
structural barriers. Constant advocacy work with
relevant stakeholders and standardization of services is
also recognized as very important.sch_iihpub4571pu
