Participation of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in political and public life is a human right as well as an important factor that promotes social inclusive development. When PWDs participate in political and public life their voice is heard and reflected in policy decisions. Despite the significant numbers of PWDs in the Balkan region, research suggests that PWDs continue to experience systemic exclusion from mainstream governance and developmental processes. This exclusion has been particularly acute in the areas of political representation in elective and appointed positions, with limited efforts by political parties to provide a conducive environment for PWDs to engage in politics. There is a need to address the persistent gap within Balkan region's political culture led and perpetuated by political parties while strengthening direct engagement between political parties and civil society, and the critical knowledge gaps within political parties to create and promote more inclusive political discourse, political commitments and public policymaking.
