The European Network on Statelessness (ENS) is a civil society alliance with over 100 members

protection. ENS aims to achieve its mission through awareness-raising, law & policy and capacitybuilding activities.

committed to an integrated, human rights based response to the injustice of statelessness and
exclusion through a combination of research, education, partnerships and advocacy.

(ENS) in collaboration with partner organisations in Albania (Tirana Legal Aid Society), BosniaHerzegovina (Vaša prava BiH Association), Macedonia (Macedonian Young Lawyers Association), Montenegro (Mladi Romi), Serbia (Praxis) and Ukraine (Desyate Kvitnya). The project aims
