Summary/Abstract: Today, to be a parent with full dignity means to have a lot more than one usually does in practice. The legislator sometimes, accidentally or intentionally, fails to regulate already existing social relations in an appropriate manner, or fails to regulate them at all. Also, the application of existing law is sometimes rather difficult, due to ignorance or inability of those who are supposed to apply the law in individual cases. That is mostly because they do not use the interpretation of the law as a mechanism to apply the law.That is why some initiatives were started in the past few years by the NGOs which have been involved in the program of providing better life for the parents in Serbia. After a short overview of those initiatives and author’s involvement in them, this paper will present a proposal for some new pro-natalist measures that can establish a new human right (to be a dignified parent), even though the current laws provide sufficient conditions to make the parenthood work in practice.
