The most important problems of the implementation of the National Human Rights Strategy in the sphere of the combating discrimination at the regional level:

• Low level of awareness of local government executive officials about the problems of discrimination in their regions
• The lack of practical knowledge and skills in implementing the tasks envisaged in the National Human Rights Strategy Action Plan

1. Only single measures are taken to spread gender knowledge and overcome gender stereotypes.
2. The unimpeded access to the legal protection against discrimination is not ensured for citizens at the regional level.
