U nastojanju da se te barijere prevaziđu, međunarodna zajednica je povećala pritisak na Srbiju i druge zemlje u regionu da pojačaju mjere u smislu promoviranja jedakosti spolova, da okončaju spolno zasnovanu diskriminaciju, te da odrede kvote za učešće žena u politici.
In an effort to overcome these barriers, the international community has increased pressure on Serbia, and other countries in the region, to ramp up measures to promote gender equality, to end sex-based discrimination and to set quotas for women's political participation.
