Učeničko društvo Svačić počelo je djelovati 1906. godine kao tamburaški zbor unutar varaždinske Gimnazije, a ubrzo je kao organizirano tamburaško društvo nastupalo i izvan škole. Pod vodstvom prof. Milana Stahuljaka oblikovani su kvalitetan tamburaški i pjevački zbor te salonski orkestar koji su do ljeta 1913. godine, priređivali glazbeno-deklamatorne produkcije povremeno dopunjavane amaterskim predstavama i organiziranim plesom. Bez Svačićevog sudjelovanja ubrzo je postala nezamisliva svaka ozbiljnija priredba u Gimnaziji, a njegovi programi znatno su obogatili kulturnu i zabavnu ponudu u gradu. Pred Prvi svj. rat ulogu Svačićevog zborovođe preuzeo je prof. Tomislav Miškulin pod čijim je vodstvom ova djelatnost nadopunjena izuzetno kvalitetnim koncertnim aktivnostima. Čim su to političke okolnosti dopustile, Svačićevi su nastupi, tijekom i nakon rata, pomogli prikupljanju novca za pomoć siromašnim gimnazijalcima i ratnim stradalnicima. Zalaganjem Milana Kamana, novog ravnatelja varaždinske Gimnazije, diktatorski režim kralja Aleksandra je 1930. ipak dozvolio osnivanje Varaždinskog gimnazijskog udruženja "Svačić" s ciljem da lakše kontrolira izvannastavne aktivnosti u školi. Rad udruženja propisan je Pravilima potvrđenim od Ministarstva prosvjete i organiziran je kroz sekcije. U početku su utemeljene glazbena, znanstvena i literarna, a sljedećih godina oformljene su sportska, likovna šahovska i filatelistička sekcija. Nastavni savjet imenovao je profesore voditelje sekcija koje su održavale radne sastanke pripremajući programe za tzv. sijela, priredbe putem kojih su svoj rad predstavljale unutar škole ili na nivou grada, a povremeno su Gimnaziju predstavljale i na višim razinama. Pritom se posebno isticala sportska sekcija pod vodstvom prof. Zvonimira Suligoja koja se, uz lokalne manifestacije predstavljala na državnim sletovima. Glazbena sekcija pod vodstvom prof. Tomislava Miškulina je svoje koncertne programe predstavljala u Hrvatskom glazbenom zavodu i zagrebačkoj katedrali. Literarna sekcija je učeničke radove povremeno objavljivala u zagrebačkim književnim revijama, a samostalno je izdavala učenički list Svačić. Zahvaljujući njihovoj aktivnosti kulturni, zabavni i društveni život u Gimnaziji i Varaždinu 30-ih godina 20. stoljeća bio je znatno bogatiji i kvalitetniji. No promjenom političkih odnosa neposredno pred Drugi svjetski rat, rad ove udruge bio je ugašen. ; Student association Svačić was founded in 1906 as a tamburitza orchestra operating within Varaždin Gymnasium and later it was converted into a tamburitza music association that held concerts outside school as well. Led by teacher Milan Stahuljak it consisted of a high-quality tamburitza orchestra and choir as well as a chamber orchestra. By summer 1913 they used to organize music and declamatory productions which were sometimes complemented with amateur shows and organized ballroom dances. Soon thereafter Svačić became one of the must-have participants of all the important events in Gymnasium, and their programs added new qualities to the cultural and entertainment offer in Varaždin. Before World War I teacher Tomislav Miškulin became their choirmaster and he put special emphasis on concert activities of the association. As soon as the political circumstances became more favorable (during and after the war) Svačić performances aided significantly in raising resources for the poor Gymnasium students and casualties of war. As a consequence of the persistent work by Milan Kaman, the new head of Varaždin Gymansium, the dictatorial regime of the king Aleksandar eventually allowed the foundation of Varaždin Gymnasium association "Svačić" in 1930 so that they may supervise extracurricular activities of the school. The activity of the association was defined by a rulebook ("Pravilnik") which was approved by the Ministry of Education and it was set up through various sections. The first sections to be founded were the music, science, and literary sections, and in the upcoming years sports, visual arts, chess and philatelic sections were set up as well. The board of teachers appointed teachers who were leaders of particular sections which in turn held meetings where they elaborated programs for the so-called soirees. Those were events where sections presented their activities within the school or for the general population. Sometimes they even represented the school on a more formal level as well. A section that was especially prominent was the sports section which was led by teacher Zvonimir Suligoj. They were active both at local and state events. Music section, which was led by teacher Tomislav Miškulin, held concerts in the Croatian Music Association and Zagreb Cathedral. The literary section sometimes published students' works in Zagreb literary journals, and they published their own student journal called Svačić. With the help of their activities, social, culture and entertainment segment of Varaždin life in the 1930s was extremely rich and colorful. However, because of new political developments in the period leading up to World War II, this association ceased to exist.

Osim globalnih organizacija, u svijetu je formiran i velik broj regionalnih organizacija koje djeluju na svim kontinentima. Početni oblik integracije bilo je formiranje Zone slobodne trgovine, zatim Carinske unije, Zajedničkog tržišta, Monetarne unije, pa sve do najsloženijeg oblika Ekonomske unije. Danas sve zemlje svijeta sudjeluju u nekim oblicima integracija, dok su neke članice i više regionalnih organizacija. Proces integracije nije lak i jednostavan put, već dugotrajan i složen. Neki od razloga zašto se zemlje odlučuju ući u razne regionalne ekonomske organizacije su proširenje svog tržišta, povećanje konkurentnosti, bolje korištenje resursa, efikasnija proizvodnja i sl. Integracija podrazumijeva da se zemlje članice prilagode određenim pravilima, te da se povežu u smislu razvijanje međusobne suradnje i da tako ostvare cilj radi kojeg se organizacija i formirala. Kao primjer najuspješnije regionalne ekonomske organizacije zasigurno je Europska unija koja se formirala još davne 1951. godine te djeluje i danas s time da povećava broj svojih članica te širi svoj teritorij na Europskom kontinentu. ; In addition to global organizations, a lot of regional organizations have been formed across all continents. The initial form of integration was the establishment of a Free-trade zone, then a Customs Union, a Common Market, a Monetary Union, and finally the most complex form of organization an Economic Union. Today all countries in the world participate in some form of integration, and some even participate in multiple regional organizations. The integration process is not an easy and simple process, but a long and complex one. Some of the reasons why countries decide to participate in various regional economic organizations are the expansion of their markets, increase of competitiveness, better use of resources, more efficient production etc. The integration means that Member States have to conform to certain rules, and to connect in terms of development cooperation, in order to achieve the goal for which the organization was formed. An example of one the most successful regional economic organizations is certainly the European Union, which was formed back in 1951. It is still active today, increasing the number of its members and expanding its territory on the European continent.

Djelatnost neprofitnih organizacija usmjerena je javnom interesu. Organizirana je u većini slučajeva kroz pravni oblik udruga i u funkciji je pružanja usluga neprofitnog karaktera. Financijsko poslovanje i računovodstvo neprofitnih organizacija uređeno je Zakonom o financijskom poslovanju i računovodstvu neprofitnih organizacija te pripadajućim pravilnicima. Zbog porasta broja neprofitnih organizacija, a time i povećane potrošnje javnog novca dolazi do većih kontrola i nadzora poslovanja. U tom kontekstu, zakonom je određena i obveza dostave financijskih izvještaja neprofitnih organizacija nadležnom tijelu te njihova objava kroz Registar neprofitnih organizacija vođenim od strane Ministarstva financija. Predmet rada je prikaz računovodstvenog okvira s naglaskom na specifičnosti djelatnosti sportskih udruga. U radu je istražena djelatnost i financiranje sportskih udruga te je na primjeru udruge, Školskog sportskog saveza Grada Zagreba prezentirana primjena tog zakonskog okvira s naglaskom na izvore financiranja, računovodstvo i sadržaj financijskog izvještavanja. ; The activities of non-profit organizations are focused on the public interest. In the most cases, non-profit organizations are organized through the legal form of the association and in the function of providing non-profit services. The financial operations and accounting of non-profit organizations are regulated by the Law on Financial Operations and Accounting of Non-Profit Organizations, which belong to the associated regulations. Due to the increase in the number of non-profit organizations and thus increase in the spending of public money, it leads to greater controls and supervision of business. In this context, the law also states the obligation to submit financial reports of non-profit organizations to the competent body for their publication through the Register of non-profit organizations maintained by the Ministry of Finance. The subject of the paper is the presentation of the accounting framework with an emphasis on the specifics of the ...

Autori su u radu uvodno opisali djelovanje prijeratnih sportskih društava u Osijeku, metropoli Slavonije. U središnjem dijelu se usmjeravaju na sportska događanja u prvoj polovici 1914., a potom prate izbijanje Prvoga svjetskoga rata i navode da unatoč tomu što se u Osijeku i Slavoniji nije ratovalo vrlo brzo potpuno zamire sportski život. Rad je napisan na temelju onodobnog osječkog dnevnog tiska, izvornog arhivskog gradiva i relevantne literature. ; The number of sport associations in Osijek points to the fact that sport was not only of outstanding quality, but also very popular. Shooting – cultivated by the Citizen's Shooting Sport Association – is the oldest organized sport in Osijek, while the most active membership was that of both the Osijek Upper Town and Lower Town Hrvatski sokol associations. The year 1914 was marked by active functioning in the first half and fading away of social work in the months after the outbreak of the First World War. The gradual cessation of pre-war sport associations and clubs' activities in Osijek was brought about by the general mobilization of all citizens which were fit for military service during the summer, the placing of sport infrastructure at the disposal of the military and using it to store military equipment, as well as the Ban's decree of 26 July 1914.

The role of the European Union (EU) trade liberalisation with the Western Balkans — namely Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania, and Macedonia — is overestimated, as major benefits could be expected mainly from institutional reforms rather than trade creation and economic perspective due to low economic development and a lack of comparative advantages in these countries.1 The core issue to be addressed in this article is whether these firms can exploit the opportunities arising from the EU integration process. The aim of this article is to confirm the hypothesis that the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) and trade agreements in the Western Balkans are not sufficient pre-conditions for successful performance and increase of exports by local firms; the main focus should be on the internal performance of firms. The paper analyses and compares the data collected by surveys conducted with local firms in Kosovo in order to measure the impact of the SAA. Finally, the article suggests that in the short and medium run the SAA could support and improve the quality of products, technical standards, and firm competitiveness as a pre-condition for better access to the EU market in the long run. ; The role of the European Union (EU) trade liberalisation with the Western Balkans — namely Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania, and Macedonia — is overestimated, as major benefits could be expected mainly from institutional reforms rather than trade creation and economic perspective due to low economic development and a lack of comparative advantages in these countries.1 The core issue to be addressed in this article is whether these firms can exploit the opportunities arising from the EU integration process.

U ovome se radu Udruženje umjetnika Zemlja (1929. – 1935.) – organizirana skupina slikara, kipara i arhitekata s lijevom političkom orijentacijom i društveno angažiranom motivacijom – sagledava kao društvenu mrežu. Bipartitna mrežna analiza i pripadajuće vizualizacije pružaju mogućnost identificiranja umjetnika koji u toj mreži imaju najvažniju ulogu, odnosno središnji položaj, kao i izložaba koje se – kao događaji koji te umjetnike povezuju – pojavljuju kao ključne. Takav pristup – temeljen na podacima o broju izloženih radova svih izlagača na Zemljinim izložbama te analizi četiriju mjera centralnosti – omogućuje nove uvide u položaj i važnost pojedinih umjetnika i izložaba u mreži, služi kao potvrda postojećih povijesnoumjetničkih tumačenja, ali i otvara neka nova istraživačka pitanja. Također, pružit će se i sažet osvrt na "geografiju Zemlje", koja se pokazuje široko položenom – od Londona na zapadu, do Sofije na istoku Europe. ; This paper analyses the Association of Artists Zemlja (1929–1935) – the organized group of left-wing and socially engaged painters, sculptors and architects – as a social network. The two-mode network analysis and the accompanying visualizations provide an opportunity to identify the artists who have played the most important role in this network, that is, who have occupied its central position, as well as the exhibitions – the events connecting the artists – which have emerged as key network constituents. Such an approach – based on the number of exhibited works by all participating artists at the Zemlja exhibitions and the analysis of four centrality measures – enables new insights into the position and importance of individual artists and exhibitions within the network and serves as a confirmation of the existing art historical interpretations, as well as raises some new research questions. In addition, this paper also offers a succinct overview of Zemlja's wide-reaching "geography" – from London in the West, to Sofia in the East of Europe.

Povijest nastanka i djelovanja građanskih udruga u Lici može se pratiti još od 1835. godine kada je osnovana Narodna čitaonica u Senju. Ipak, tek su krajem 19. stoljeća stvoreni svi preduvjeti za brojnije osnivanje svih vrsta građanskih udruga u Lici te je od tada njihov broj u stalnom povećanju. Iako je nesumnjivo da su razne vrste udruga u Lici svojim djelovanjem pozitivno djelovale na ličko društvo, taj fenomen društvene mikro-povijesti nije bio predmet sveobuhvatnog proučavanja. Ovaj doktorski rad kronološki prati stvaranje prvih građanskih udruga (društava, zaklada, štedionica, klubova i podružnica) u Lici u vrijeme Vojne krajine, njihovo naglo povećanje u vrijeme Ličko-krbavske županije i promjene koje su ih zahvatile u vrijeme Kraljevine Jugoslavije te završava početkom Drugoga svjetskog rata kada su građanske udruge u Lici naglo nestale s povijesne pozornice. U radu je prikazano političko, gospodarsko i kulturno stanje u Lici koje je uvelike utjecalo na brzinu i kvalitetu nastanka novih udruga. Također su obrađene i građanske udruge izvan prostora Like jer je njihova kulturna i ekonomska interakcija bila važan element u razvoju ove regije. Stoga je cilj ovog doktorskog rada po prvi put u našoj historiografiji dati, ne samo sumarni prikaz građanskih udruga, već i razloge, uzroke te posljedice njihovog postojanja na prostoru Like i Senja, a sve u svrhu boljega razumijevanja kompleksnih i nedovoljno razjašnjenih povijesnih procesa u hrvatskoj povijesnoj regiji Lici. ; The beginings of organizations set up in Lika region reaches far into the past, in the time of medieval brotherhoods; however, the first civil organizations in Lika did not arise until the Military Border systems have been abolished and until the break through of the modernization processes that originated in the Civic Croatia. The city of Senj had partially different but also earlier organizations' development. The first known civic organization on the area that has been the subject of this doctoral dissertation was The National Library in the city of Senj, founded in 1835. Withal, this civil organization is the first one in Croatia. In Lika region, the first civil organizations were not founded until the abrogation of the Military Border which, at the same time, has been the starting point for the progression of one of the most important forms of modernization. In the first part of this scientific work, social stratification and differentiation in the everyday life of Lika's residents has been depicted, whereas the usage of an argumented research approach has served to explain complex political, military, economic and other mutual influences between Lika's peasants-soldiers and the authorities that have dominated during that time. Multiple conflicts, unsafe and economically marginalized area, unsettled property laws and so called 'cooperative phenomena' are just a part of the numerous reasons why Lika region has entered Croatian and Habsbourg Monarchy's cultural and social processes relatively late. An emphasis is on the development of education, literacy and culture as basic determinants of future development of the civil organizations. Second major group of the research questions deals with an emersion of the organizations on the Croatian and European area, as a result of new global political processes. This part of the disertation tries to answer the question 'which were the reasons for the organizations' establishment in the first place', so as 'to what extent the organizations have influenced the residents of Wienna, Zagreb and other cities of the Habsbourg Monarchy'? Special emphasis is put on the law regulations, that is, so called 'Imperial Decree' which has helped the organizations to establish and work. Also, this group of the research questions discusses the inherited differences that existed in an administration, mentality and the development itself between the former Military Border and the Civic Croatia. Comparative research has provided an evidence that the development of a new district – Lika-Krbava county – when compared to the other districts, has been minor. Also, the questions that have been the matter of this scientific work were 'which kind of the organizations were there in the first place, 'what is the nature of the organizations' and 'which is the real level on which these organizations have fulfilled their purposes and goals'. This kind of analysis is very important in order to understand Lika's history from the beginning of the 20th century; in this period economic and cultural life of the Lika's residents is highly inflenced by a new regime of the Kingdom of SHS and, later on, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. This group of questions especially makes an exception of the city of Senj, as a kind of border exception, but also explains which political and economic circumstances and perplexities resulted in prosperity and stagnation of the city beneath the Nehaj Fortress. The third group of the research questions, using the archive sources of the civil organizations' rules, gives an overview of more than one hundred and fifty civil organizations according to the territorial regions (districts) that existed during the Lika-Krbava county and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. This section reveals the purposes, goals and the activities of administrative councils and assemblies of all major civic organizations (associations, clubs, affiliates, commities, foundations) found in the districts that existed during that time – Brinje, Donji Lapac, Gračac, Gospić, Korenica, Otočac, Perušić, Udbina and the cities Senj and Karlobag. In spite of major illiteracy, political and national antagonism and the fact that Lika was at the periphery in the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy, until the beginning of the World War I, a great number of the organizations has been established in Lika region. When talking about this in the first place, we must mention some proffesional societies, libraries, 'falcon' organizations, music organizations and economic organizations, although there were also some historical occurences such as the first theatrical group in Otočac, or one of the oldest tennis clubs in Croatia, the one in Gospić. Thereby, in the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, Lika is the region of the numerous changes, but even more is the region of the extreme contradictions. In the same (research) way, the attention has been dedicated to history of Lika's organizations outside Lika's area. Throughout this group of questions not all civic organizations outside Lika have been elaborated, only those whose members actively participated in the development of the possibilities for the future economic prosperity of Lika region. Therefore, this part of the paper tries to show the connection between Lika region and the other parts of the countries that existed during that time, where the descendants of Lika's residents have lived. This scientific work tries to answer the questions of the real connection of Lika's people outside Lika with the real problems which were perceived by them in a different way than by those who remained living in the homeland. The Society of Lika's people in Zagreb was Lika's major emigrant organization which intensively helped its agile members and offered a solution for a hard life in Lika region. The Society for the preservation of the Plitvice Lakes was one of the best known organizations in Croatia, however, its class and narcissistic behaviour could not have been accepted by most of Lika's residents. In spite of individual interests of a great number of members of Lika's civic organizations, what does remain is a constatation that the organizations, especially those whose members were peasants, have obtained a huge success when it comes to development of cooperatives, crafts, agriculture, but also education and culture. Also, what is notecable is the fact that efficiency of the numerous affiliates of federate economic organizations has increased, what leads to the conclusion that the overall progress in Lika was connected with the political and economic centres outside Lika. A key influence onto the organizations' development in Lika was the one by certain individuals such as Buda Budisavljević, Ivan Devčić, Dragutin Trstenjak, Ante Cividini, Ivan Krajač, Ivan Gojtan, Ante Lončarić, so as many other culturaly and publicly known people. In that way, this doctoral thesis has scientificaly confirmed an actual similarity of the associations and organizations in Lika with those in the rest of Croatia, but also that these similarities were, in fact, quite limited. Civic organizations are an important factor in every community, so as, of course, for Lika's identity which is historically saturated in turbulent ways. This work tries to make a contribution not just to better understanding of the civic organizations in Lika, but to contribute to understand the overall environment, that is, the atmosphere in Lika region. This gives new knowledge regarding micro-historical elements of one culture that has been a carrier of social, cultural, political and economic development of the region between the Kapela mountains in the north and South Velebit and the river Zrmanja stream in the south. This doctoral thesis is the first scientific contribution to better understanding of the civic organizations and their importance in the region under consideration. Although this thesis, through the depiction of work of the civic organizations in Lika, has tried to give an answer regarding broader social, political, economic, cultural and religious life of Lika and Senj's residents in the period of turbulent and modernisation processes, some questions remain only partially answerable. If we take into consideration the broadness, possibilities and influence of the organizations, this observation is logical, too. Also, here we can talk about a vast area which makes a closed whole only in certain segments. That is the reason why this overview of the work of the civic organizations in Lika asks for further research attention, especially when it comes to the analysis of economic changes which have occurred in Lika during the second part of the 19th and the first part of the 20th century. In order to accomplish this, besides the archival research, a potential researcher must pay attention to the statistical analysis. Moreover, this scientific work gives just a model of how to evaluate certain types of the civic organizations and how to compare them with the organizations similar to them. Although this doctoral thesis had to be done within a canonical time frame, it will be praiseworthy if we compare the civic organizations in Lika which exist today to those which have existed during the period of Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Of course, this kind of research calls for plenty of time, as well as considerable material assets, hence it can be done sometime in the future. Despite the fact that the tragic events during the World War II lead to the abolition of the civic organizations outside Lika region, the constitution of the Republic of Croatia has created the conditions for the reestablishment of the organizations. Nowadays, more than twenty organizations outside Lika work very actively and responsibly in order to interconnect Lika's emigrants and their descendants with their homeland, from where their ancestors arrived more than one hundred and fifty years ago.

U radu autor prikazuje povijest časopisa Knjiga i čitaoci, koji je bio namijenjen knjižnicama u Hrvatskoj. Kako su glavni prilozi u časopisu bili popisi novih knjiga u knjižnicama te prikazi odabranih novih naslova, časopis je imao izuzetno veliku ulogu u politici nabave novih knjiga za knjižnice. U dvanaest godina postojanja časopis je u popisima novih knjiga naveo svega desetak knjiga koje su sadržavale temu kršćanske vjere, a neke od tih knjiga napisali su marksisti. Uredništvo časopisa postavilo je kao uzor svakome knjižničaru vođu Oktobarske revolucije Vladimir Iljiča Lenjina, koji je smatrao da knjižnica ne vrijedi onoliko koliko ima starih i rijetkih knjiga, nego koliko ima knjiga koje promiču ideje boljševičke revolucije. Stoga je časopis zagovarao "socijalističkog bibliotekara", knjižničara koji pomoću knjiga promiče ideje socijalističke revolucije. Izdavanje časopisa pokrenuo je 1967. Savez ustanova i organizacija za širenje knjige SRH pri Prosvjetnom saboru SRH, od 1968. suizdavač je Društvo bibliotekara Hrvatske, od 1970. jedini je izdavač DBH, koje je 1971. promijenilo ime u Hrvatsko bibliotekarsko društvo. U prve dvije godine izlaženja ključnu ulogu u uređivanju časopisa ima je Vinko Lalić, tajnik Saveza ustanova i organizacija za širenje knjige SRH, kasnije su glavnu ulogu preuzeli knjižničar Knjižnice Božidara Adžije Mijo Haramina i Dubravko Štiglić, knjižničar Gradske knjižnice u Zagrebu. U završnom dijelu članka autor navodi niz knjiga koje je u razdoblju od 1967. do 1979. objavilo Hrvatsko književno društvo sv. Ćirila i Metoda, a o izlasku kojih je propustio obavijestiti knjižnice časopis Knjiga i čitaoci. ; In this paper, the author presents the history of the Journal Knjiga i čitaoci (Book and Readers), intended for libraries in Croatia. As the main additions to the Journal were the lists of new books in libraries and description of selected new titles, the Journal had an extremely important role in the policy of the library's new acquisitions. In the twelve years of Journal's existence, in the lists of new books, the Journal has listed only a dozen books which addressed the topic of Christian faith, and some of these books were written by Marxists. The editorial board of the Journal considered the leader of October Revolution, Vladimir Ilich Lenin, a role model for every librarian, as he believed that the value of libraries was not the number of old and rare books they hold, but rather the number of books which promote the idea of Bolshevik Revolution. That is why the Journal advocated a "socialist librarian" – a librarian who promotes the ideas of the socialist revolution through books. Publication of the Journal started in 1967. "Savez ustanova i organizacija za širenje knjige SRH" (Institutes and Organizations for Book Popularization Association of SRH), with "Prosvjetni sabor SRH" (The Education Council of SRH), Association of Croatian Librarians has been the co-publisher since 1968, and the sole publisher since 1970 was DBH, which, in 1971, changed its name to the Croatian Library Association. In the first two years of publishing, Vinko Lalić – secretary of the Association of Institutes and Organizations for Book Popularization of SRH, held the key role in Journal editing, followed by librarians from the Zagreb City Libraries - Božidar Adžija, Mijo Haramina and Dubravko Štiglić. In the final part of the article, the author lists several books published by "Hrvatsko književno društvo sv. Ćirila i Metoda " (Croatian Literary Association of St. Cyril and Methodius) in the period from 1967 to 1979, about which the libraries were not informed.

Civilno društvo u mnogim zemljama demokratskog svijeta, pa tako i u Republici Hrvatskoj, zauzima vrlo važno mjesto u političkom i društvenom životu. Naime, Europska je unija kao predstavnik zapadnih, demokratskih zemalja, prepoznala civilni sektor kao jedan od stupova društva pa se u mnogim politikama zemalja javlja pitanje u kojoj mjeri te na koji način je ispravno uključiti civilni sektor u kreiranje javnih politika. Prema ideji, civilno bi društvo trebalo sudjelovati u političkom životu pojedine zemlje od samoga početka s glavnim zadatkom detekcije postojanja pojedinih društvenih problema.

Namely, the European Union, as a representative of Western, democratic countries, has recognized the civil sector as one of the pillars of society, so in many countries' policies the question arises to what extent and in what way it is right to involve the civil sector in policy making. According to the idea, civil society should participate in the political life of a particular country from the very beginning with the main task of detecting the existence of certain social problems. With such initiatives, but also by participating in the very creation of policies and their promotion, the civil sector becomes a partner of the government.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the possibilities of the influence of civil society organizations on policy making. Finally, the aim of this paper is to understand the issues of this possible obstacle to the participation of civil society organizations in political life.
