Prije svega \u010dast mi je \u0161to imam priliku da govorim u okviru ovog okruglog stola, koji se bavi ljudima, izazovima, padovima, uspjesima, dostignu\u0107ima. To je na\u0161 \u017eivot, na\u0161a svakodnevica.<\/p>\n
Ja sam Katarina Bigovic Kulic, zamjenica direktora Saveza slijepih Crne Gore, ujedno kontakt ta\u010dka me\u0111unarodnih odnosa. Nakon zavr\u0161enog Fakulteta politi\u010dkih nauka, te magisterija evropskih ekonomskih integracija, \u017eelja je bila da se bavim diplomatijom.<\/p>\n
A onda spletom okolnosti kakve samo \u017eivot mo\u017ee da vam ponudi, \u010dak tri puta sam bila sprije\u010dena da do\u0111em na razgovor za posao, i eto me, po\u010dela sam da radim u Savezu.<\/p>\n
Baviti se politikom invaliditeta je jako izazovno, i to svi u ovoj sali znamo. Ve\u0107inski ljudi preko puta vas na sastancima ne razumiju o \u010demu govorite, \u0161ta \u017eelite. \u010cesto morate da ponavljate iste re\u010denice, da dr\u017eite do svojih stavova i onda kada su mogima nelogi\u010dni, neraelni, nemogu\u0107i. \u010clanovi tra\u017ee bolje uslove za \u017eivot,\u00a0 bude vam nekad svega dosta, osje\u0107ate se kao Don Kihot. Ali na kraju dana sjednem, sagledam situaciju i ka\u017eem: \u201cHej, Katarina, pa tvoj rad ima smisla. Pogledaj oko sebe, ima\u0161 zadovoljne kolege, zadovoljne \u010dlanove, ljudi oko tebe sa po\u0161tovanjem govore o osobama s invaliditetom. Osobe o\u0161te\u0107enog vida imaju bolje uslove \u017eivota, govorimo o inkluziji, \u017eivimo je. \u201c<\/p>\n
Kao dr\u017eava koja jo\u0161 uvijek nije \u010dlanica EU, ali je najbli\u017ea tom cilju, imamo niz dostignu\u0107a. Prva smo dr\u017eava koja je zakonski rije\u0161ila pitanje pristupa\u010dnosti informacija o proizvodima koje se obilje\u017eavaju brajevim pismom. E pristupa\u010dnost je \u0161iroko rasprostranjena, pa tako Vlada, Skup\u0161tina Crne Gore, Univerzitet, Aerodromi, druge institucije, mediji, privatni subjekti imaju pristupa\u010dne web sajtove, pristupa\u010dna dokumenta, da budemo iskreni, nemaju jo\u0161 uvijek sva dokumenta pristupa\u010dna. Razvijeni su servisi za u\u010de\u0161\u0107e u zajednici, Vide\u0107i pratilac, te kretanje uz kori\u0161\u0107enje bijelog \u0161tapa. U\u010de\u0161\u0107e osoba o\u0161te\u0107enog vida u politi\u010dkom i javnom \u017eivotu je unaprije\u0111eno, te tako osobe o\u0161te\u0107enog vida mogu ostvariti bira\u010dko pravo samostalno i tajno. Osnovali smo Odbor \u017eena, Odbor mladih, kako bi unaprijedili njihov polo\u017eaj u okviru Saveza. Sara\u0111ujemo sa niz organizacija, kako na lokalnom, nacionalnom, regionalnom, evropskom nivou.<\/p>\n
Sve navedeno\u00a0 uglavnom je rezultat zagovara\u010dkih aktivnosti Saveza, a jo\u0161 mnogo toga treba da se radi na pove\u0107anju svijesti o pravima OSI.<\/p>\n
I sada, nakon skoro deset godina rada u Savezu zaista sam ponosna na sebe, svoj tim ljudi, na porodicu koju imam u Savezu, na sve ono \u0161to smo uradili i \u0161to nam tek predstoji, kako bi osobe o\u0161te\u0107enog vida bile uklju\u010dene u crnogorsko, evropsko dru\u0161tvo.<\/p>\n
Budimo promjena koju \u017eelimo da \u017eivimo.<\/p>\n

First of all, I am honored to have the opportunity to speak at this round table, which deals with people, challenges, failures, successes, achievements. It is our life, our everyday life.<\/p>\n
I am Katarina Bigovic Kulic, deputy director of the Union of the Blind of Montenegro, also the contact point for international relations. After graduating from the Faculty of Political Sciences and a master's degree in European economic integration, I wanted to work in diplomacy.<\/p>\n
And then, due to a set of circumstances that only life can offer you, I was even prevented from coming to a job interview three times, here I am, I started working at the Union.<\/p>\n
Dealing with disability policy is very challenging, and we all know that in this Hall. Most people across you at meetings do not understand what you are talking about, what you want. You often have to repeat the same sentences, to stick to your views even when they are illogical, irrational, impossible for someone. The members are looking for better living conditions, sometimes you get fed up with everything, you feel like Don Quixote. But at the end of the day I sit down, look at the situation and say: “Hey, Katarina, your work makes sense. Look around you, you have satisfied colleagues, satisfied members, people around you speak respectfully about people with disabilities. Visually impaired persons have better living conditions, we talk about inclusion, we live it. ”<\/p>\n
As a country that is not yet a member of the EU, but is the closest to that goal, we have a number of achievements. We are the first country that has legally resolved the issue of accessibility of information about products that are marked with Braille. E-access is widespread, so the Government, Parliament of Montenegro, University, Airports, other institutions, media, private entities have accessible websites, accessible documents, to be honest, not all documents are accessible yet. Services for participation in the community, Sight Companion, and movement with the use of a white cane have been developed. The participation of visually impaired people in political and public life has improved, so visually impaired people can exercise their right to vote independently and secretly. We established the Women's Committee, the Youth Committee, in order to improve their position within the Union. We cooperate with a number of organizations, both at the local, national, regional and European level.<\/p>\n
All of the above is mainly the result of advocacy activities of the Union and much more needs to be done to increase awareness of the rights of PWDs.<\/p>\n
And now, after almost ten years of working in the Union, I am really proud of myself, my team of people, the family I have in the Union, all that we have done and what is yet to come, so that visually impaired people are included in the Montenegrin, European society.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s be the change we want to live.<\/p>\n
