Dear colleagues and friends,

It is a pleasure and privilege to invite you to Zagreb, Croatia, for the 6th European Congress on Mental Health in Intellectual Disability, 11 to 13 October 2007.

Based on a framework of social justice and human rights the congress will have a focus on practice and research related to mental health issues in intellectual disability. Croatia, preparing to enter the EU, is exactly the suitable place for exchanging scientific and practical experiences of experts from different cultural contexts. It will be a unique opportunity to promote mental health issues of persons with intellectual disability from the perspective of the local and national community and their efforts in assuring human rights of this often marginalized population.
An old Central European city, Zagreb, can offer its visitors the medieval atmosphere of the Upper Town, picturesque open-air markets, diverse shopping facilities, multiple cultural attraction, an abundant selection of crafts and a choice of vernacular cuisine.
We wish you a successful, pleasant and unforgettable stay in Zagreb.

Chairman of Organizing Committee
Ljiljana Igrić
