Vesna Cerroni is a peace and human rights activist with over 20 years’ experience in working with governments, international organisations and civil society.

During her student days, Vesna raised her voice against the regime in the raging conflict areas of the Balkans. She was engaged as a Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs of the Resistance with OTPOR, the nonviolent movement which helped bring down Slobodan Milosevic, transformed Serbian political culture and built on grassroots decentralised civil society. This enabled her to promote and work on conflict prevention, non-violent actions, peace building and reconciliation.

She started her activism while living and working in Europe, especially in the Western Balkans region, where she worked with non-governmental movements, progressive political parties and other activists, and organised peaceful protests and political, peace, human rights as well as various environmental campaigns.

She has worked at the Australian Federal Parliament, lobbying the federal Members of Parliament to protect climate, land environment, wildlife and marine ecosystems.
