During the course of preparation for the new Associations Law, the Office, via its bulletin, called for consultation concerning the draft of the Law from 16,000 associations, and for this purpose, special round table meetings were organised at the regional level, attended by local NGOs.
Tijekom pripreme novog Zakona o udrugama Ured je putem svoga biltena pozvao na savjetovanje o nacrtu Zakona otprilike 16 000 udruga, a u tu su svrhu organizirani i posebni okrugli stolovi na regionalnim razinama, uz sudjelovanje lokalnih NVO-a.
The result of this kind of approach was a much more liberal and flexible law, which creates the preconditions for a more powerful development of the non-governmental sector.
Rezultat je takvog pristupa mnogo liberalniji i fleksibilniji zakon koji stvara preduvjete za snažniji razvoj trećeg sektora.
The programme, among other things, envisages consultations with the non-governmental sector during the making of new or modification of existing laws and the inclusion of its representatives in the working groups of the proposers of laws, consultation in the process of the drawing up of governmental national programmes and in an evaluation of national policies in all areas.
Program, među ostalim predviđa konzultacije s nevladinim sektorom pri donošenju novih ili izmjeni postojećih zakona te uključivanje njegovih predstavnika u radne skupine predlagača zakona, savjetovanja u procesu izrade nacionalnih programa Vlade te pri procjeni nacionalnih politika u svim područjima.
Through this programme the government has bound itself to develop a code of good practice together with the nongovernmental sector and to advance the quality of the work through consultations and the evaluation and implementation of policies.
Vlada se tim programom obvezuje, zajedno s nevladinim sektorom razvijati kodeks pozitivne prakse i unaprjeđivati kvalitetu djelovanja putem savjetovanja te procjene i provođenja politike.
The purpose of the co-operation programme is to work not only at a national level, but also at the local levels where most of the associations are active and where it is possible to formulate very concrete guidelines, measures and activities for collaboration between local government and NGOs.
Svrha je programa suradnje djelovati ne samo na nacionalnoj razini, nego i na lokalnim razinama, na kojima je aktivan najveći dio udruga i gdje je moguće formulirati vrlo konkretne smjernice, mjere i aktivnosti suradnje lokalne uprave i NVO-a.
According to recently published research results (Cooper et al., 2002), most ministries (93%) are acquainted with the Co-operation Programme and are building guidelines and recommendations contained within it into their strategiesxvi.
2002), većina ministarstava (93%) upoznata je s Programom suradnje i u svoje strategije ugrađuju smjernice i preporuke sadržane u njemu xvi.
Although an advance in the inclusion of associations into the working groups for the drawing up of given programmes and laws can be noticed, nevertheless very few ministries consider NGOs reliable partners in the shaping of policies.
Iako je primjetan napredak u uključivanju udruga u radne skupine za izradu pojedinih programa i zakona, ipak vrlo malo ministarstava smatra NVO-e pouzdanim partnerima u oblikovanju politika.
According to this research, a very low percentage of associations stated that they had set up a real partnership with government institutions, and believed that a real partnership should take for granted a much higher level of information exchange about each party through more frequent and more detailed debates and consultations.
Prema istom istraživanju, vrlo se niski postotak udruga izjasnio da su uspostavili pravo partnerstvo s vladinim institucijama te vjeruju da bi pravo partnerstvo trebalo podrazumijevati višu razinu razmjene informacija o svakoj strani češćim i iscrpnijim raspravama i savjetovanjima.
In other recent research (Bežovan, 2001), several problems were highlighted threatening any more successful participation of the organisations of civil society in the process of giving shape to policies.
U drugom nedavnom istraživanju (Bežovan, 2001), izdvojeno je nekoliko problema koji priječe uspješnije sudjelovanje organizacija civilnog društva u procesu oblikovanja politika.
These are the lack of readiness of representatives of the government to pay heed to the problems of the citizens they represent, the weakly developed skills of public advocacy and lobbying, the disinclination of associations to network and coalesce, poor coordination within subsectors, a pronounced absence of any internal democracy within the working of the associations, a low percentage of NGO participation in groups of proposers of laws and in debates about new legislation, and a generally low level of political and civil culture in Croatia.
To su nespremnost predstavnika Vlade da saslušaju probleme građana koje predstavljaju, slabo razvijene vještine javnog zagovaranja i lobiranja, nesklonost udruga umrežavanju i koaliranju, loša koordiniranost unutar podsektora, izraziti nedostatak unutarnje demokracije u djelovanju udruga, niski postotak sudjelovanja NVO-a u skupinama predlagača zakona te u raspravama o novom zakonodavstvu, kao i općenito niska razina političke i građanske kulture u Hrvatskoj.
Poor networking and feeble cohesion within the non-governmental sector is an additional hurdle in the way of the establishment of effective consultative mechanisms.
Loša umreženost i slaba kohezija unutar nevladina sektora dodatna je prepreka za uspostavu učinkovitih savjetodavnih mehanizama.
In general, the third sector in the Republic of Croatia is lacking in horizontal information exchange and collaboration.
Općenito, trećem sektoru u RH nedostaju horizontalne razmjene informacija i suradnja.
According to results of recent research about cooperation within the non-governmental sector in Croatia (Karzen, Škrabalo, 2001), 80.6% of associations do work together with other associations, but more than 60% of them think that this collaboration is poor.
Prema rezultatima nedavnog istraživanja o suradnji unutar nevladina sektora u Hrvatskoj (Škrabalo, Karzen, 2001), 80,6% udruga surađuje s drugim udrugama, ali njih više od 60% tu suradnju ocjenjuje lošom.
One of the key problems from this point of view is the absence of any forums at which it would be possible to discuss various forms of cooperation and the absence of mechanisms for agreeing about joint action.
Jedan od ključnih problema u tom smislu jest nedostatak foruma na kojima bi se raspravljalo o različitim oblicima suradnje te nepostojanje mehanizama dogovaranja o zajedničkom djelovanju.
In order to encourage joint, partnership-style ways of tackling some of these problems, at the beginning of 2002 the government set up the Civil Society Development Council, an expert and consultative body of the government, composed of representatives of the line ministries, representatives of NGOs and independent experts.
Kako bi potaknula zajedničko, partnersko rješavanje nekih navedenih problema, Vlada je početkom 2002. godine osnovala Savjet za razvoj civilnog društva, stručno i savjetodavno tijelo Vlade, sastavljeno od predstavnika resornih ministarstava, predstavnika NVO-a te od neovisnih stručnjaka.
The task of the Council was to work on the development, application and effectiveness of the Co-operation Programme, on a strategy for the development of civil society, the development of philanthropy, social capital, relations of partnership and cross-sector collaboration in the conditions of a decentralised decision-making system (NN 26/2002).
Zadaća je Savjeta djelovanje na razvoju, primjeni i učinkovitosti usvojenog Programa suradnje Vlade i nevladinog sektora, strategiji razvoja civilnog društva, razvoju filantropije, socijalnog kapitala, partnerskih odnosa i međusektorske suradnje u uvjetima decentraliziranog sustava odlučivanja (NN 26/2002).
In parallel with the establishment of this Council, the government also announced the possibility that the Office for NGOs might turn into a public Foundation for the Development of Civil Society, modelled on those in other countries in CEE.
Usporedno s osnivanjem Savjeta, Vlada je najavila i mogućnost prerastanja Ureda za udruge u javnu Zakladu za razvoj civilnog društva, po uzoru na ostale države središnje i istočne Europe.
This Foundation would have as its special role the establishment of strategic cross-sector partnerships and the prompting of a more balanced regional and local development of the non-governmental sector, networking and education.
Posebna bi uloga Zaklade bila uspostava strateških međusektorskih partnerstava te poticanje uravnoteženijega regionalnog i lokalnog razvoja nevladina sektora, umrežavanja i obrazovanja.
As well as receiving resources from the national Budget, the Foundation would be financed by donations and from income generated by its own activities.
Osim iz sredstava državnog proračuna, Zaklada bi se financirala donatorstvom te prihodima iz vlastite djelatnosti.
New initiatives are also appearing in the area of the more active participation of NGOs in the legislative process.
Nove se inicijative pojavljuju i na području aktivnijeg sudjelovanje NVO-a u zakonodavnom procesu.
From the beginning of 2003, the Web pages of the Croatian Parliament should contain the proposals of laws that are in parliamentary procedure.
Od početka 2003. godine na internetskim bi stranicama Sabora RH trebali biti svi prijedlozi zakona koji su u saborskoj proceduri.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SAA AS POTENTIAL CATALYST FOR CIVIL DIALOGUE IN CROATIA
PROVEDBA SSP-A KAO POTENCIJALNI KATALIZATOR CIVILNOG DIJALOGA U HRVATSKOJ
Evaluating the state of the development of civil society in Croatia in the first published Annual Report on the Stabilisation and Association Process, the European Commission warned of the absence of NGOs in the process of shaping policies and the legislative process, and, in general, of their limited social and political role and influence.
Ocjenjujući stanje razvijenosti civilnog društva u Hrvatskoj u prvom objavljenome Godišnjem izvješću o procesu stabilizacije i pridruživanja, Europska komisija upozorava na izostanak NVO-a iz procesa oblikovanja politika i zakonodavnog procesa te, općenito, na njihovu ograničenu društveno-političku ulogu i utjecaj.
In the same part of the report, the Commission reminded Croatia that the success of all-encompassing reforms started out within the context of the implementation of the SAA would depend on collaboration with all social actors and the degree to which civil society was included in the process of European integration (COM/2002/163 final).
U istome dijelu izvješća Komisija podsjeća Hrvatsku da će uspjeh sveobuhvatnih reformi započetih u sklopu provedbe SSP-a ovisiti o suradnji sa svim društvenim akterima te o stupnju uključenosti civilnog društva u proces europskih integracija (COM/2002/163 final).
Although the Communication Strategy cites the NGOs and other subjects in civil society as important target groups and stresses the importance of strengthening dialogues with them, the non-governmental sector is still insufficiently involved in educational and information programmes of the Ministry for European Integration (MEI).
Premda Komunikacijska strategija navodi NVO-e i ostale subjekte civilnog društva kao važne ciljne skupine te ističe nužnost jačanja dijaloga s njima, nevladin sektor još uvijek nije dovoljno uključen u obrazovne i informativne programe Ministarstva za europske integracije (MEI).
This is primarily the result of the MEI's being swamped with the task of educating government officials, and of the overall strengthening of the administrative and institutional capacities to be able to adopt the acquis.
To je ponajprije posljedica preopterećenosti MEI-ja zahtjevnim zadatkom obrazovanja državnih službenika, te ukupnog jačanja administrativnih i institucionalnih kapaciteta za usvajanje acquisa.
From the very beginning of the implementation of the SAA the governmental administration in Croatia was faced with what must have been the most daunting task to date, for the accomplishment of which all available resources have to be mobilised and powerful cross-sector collaboration has to be established.
S početkom provedbe SSP-a hrvatska se državna uprava suočila s jamačno dosad najzahtjevnijim zadatkom za čije je ostvarenje nužna mobilizacija svih raspoloživih resursa te uspostava snažnije međusektorske suradnje.
The implementation plan envisages the adoption of more than three hundred new legislative measures compliant with EU standards by the end of 2006, most of them (80%) during the first two years of the implementation of the Agreement (by the end of 2003).
Plan provedbe predviđa usvajanje više od tri stotine novih zakonodavnih mjera usklađenih sa standardima EU do kraja 2006. godine, najvećim dijelom (80%) tijekom prve dvije godine provedbe Sporazuma (do kraja 2003. godine).
Taking into account the European standards of good governance and the experience of membership candidate states, the Croatian government, in parallel with the strengthening of the administrative and institutional capacities of the administration for the implementation of the acquis, will have to undertake more concrete actions for the active involvement of NGOs in the process of decision making about questions related to Croatian European integration via appropriate formal and informal consultative mechanisms.
Uzimajući u obzir europske standarde dobrog upravljanja te iskustva država kandidatkinja za članstvo, hrvatska će Vlada paralelno s jačanjem administrativnih i institucionalnih kapaciteta državne uprave za provedbu acquisa trebati poduzeti konkretnije akcije aktivnog uključivanja NVO-a u proces odlučivanja o pitanjima vezanima za europske integracije RH putem odgovarajućih formalnih i neformalnih savjetodavnih mehanizama.
Since European integration, unlike many other areas, is still a very uncontroversial topic in Croatiaxx, and bearing in mind that this process will impinge on almost all parts of the political, social and economic life of the country, that it covers practically all sectors in which the associations are active, the implementation of the SAA can be used as a catalyst for the adoption of European principles of good governance, and as a handy base for the reinforcement of the culture of dialogue and the introduction of effective consultative mechanisms between the government and the non-governmental sector.
S obzirom na to da su europske integracije, za razliku od mnogih drugih područja, još uvijek vrlo nekontroverzna tema u Hrvatskojxx, a imajući na umu da taj proces zadire u gotovo sve dijelove političkoga, gospodarskoga i društvenog života zemlje, te da pokriva uglavom sve sektore u kojima su udruge aktivne, provedba SSP-a može poslužiti kao potencijalni katalizator za usvajanje europskih načela dobrog upravljanja, te kao pogodna podloga za jačanje kulture dijaloga i uvođenje učinkovitih savjetodavnih mehanizama između Vlade i nevladina sektora.
Irrespective of Croatia's lagging behind the countries of CEE that have the status of applicant countries in the process of converging on the Union, the problems that the Croatian government is meeting in the area of building up an effective dialogue with civil society are very comparable with those that the applicant countries have come upon.
Bez obzira na zaostajanje Hrvatske u procesu približavanja Uniji u usporedbi s državama središnje i istočne Europe sa statusom kandidatkinja za članstvo, problemi s kojima se hrvatska Vlada suočava na području izgradnje učinkovitog dijaloga s civilnim društvom vrlo su usporedivi i slični onima na koje nailaze države kandidatkinje.
In spite of the many challenges that can be anticipated because of the establishment of collaboration with the non-governmental sector in the process of European integration, through the work of the Office for NGOs, the Croatian government has achieved a great volte-face in its policy towards the non-governmental sector.
Unatoč brojnim izazovima što ih je moguće anticipirati s obzirom na uspostavu suradnje s nevladinim sektorom u procesu europskih integracija, hrvatska je Vlada kroz djelovanjem Ureda za udruge ostvarila velik zaokret u politici prema trećem sektoru.
The Croatian “Compact” that has been adopted, the Co-operation Programme between the Croatian government and the NGOs, is the kind of phenomenon that is relatively rare even among member states, and is a good springboard for the development of democratic culture and civil dialogue in Croatia.
Usvojeni hrvatski “kompakt”, Program suradnje između hrvatske Vlade i NVO-a, razmjerno je rijetka pojava i među državama članicama EU te je dobro polazište za razvoj demokratske kulture i civilnog dijaloga u Hrvatskoj.
In order for the excellently worked out framework to become everyday practice in the process of adaptation to EU standards that has been started, the government and the non-governmental sector should start looking, as an urgent priority, at their relationship within the broader European context and get involved in more vigorous exchanges of experience with EU member states.
Kako bi izvrsno razrađeni teorijski okvir postao svakodnevnom praksom u započetom procesu prilagodbi standardima EU, Vlada i nevladin sektor trebali bi svoj odnos prioritetno početi promatrati u širemu, europskom kontekstu te se uključiti u intenzivnije razmjene s državama članicama EU.
The adoption of new, European models of dialogue and collaboration between government, NGOs and, gradually, the private economic sector would lead to the creation of the preconditions for looking at civil society in the Republic of Croatia not as a separate sector, but as a set of interactive relations among all the sectors and citizens in joint work for public good.
Usvajanjem novih, europskih modela dijaloga i suradnje između Vlade, NVO-a te, postupno, i privatnoga, gospodarskog sektora stvorili bi se preduvjeti za promatranje civilnog društva u RH ne kao zasebnog sektora, nego kao interaktivnog odnosa među svim sektorima i građanima u zajedničkom djelovanju za opće dobro.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND GUIDELINES
PREPORUKE I SMJERNICE
According to everything stated above, it is possible to formulate concrete guidelines and recommendations for the reforms that the Croatian government and NGOs should undertake for the reinforcement of a dialogue within the context of the process of stabilisation and association with the EU.
Na temelju svega navedenoga, moguće je formulirati konkretne smjernice i preporuke za reforme koje bi hrvatska Vlada i NVO-i trebali poduzeti radi jačanja uzajamnog dijaloga u sklopu procesa stabilizacije i pridruživanja EU.
The government should:
Vlada bi trebala:
• Consider the establishment of formal and informal consultative mechanisms with the non-governmental sector in the process of stabilisation and association with the EU.
• razmotriti uspostavu formalnih i neformalnih mehanizama savjetovanja s nevladinim sektorom u procesu stabilizacije i pridruživanja s EU.
The informal model of consultation would be accomplished in the form of conferences, seminars, round tables or forums at which the representatives of both sectors would debate various aspects of the implementation of the SAA.
Neformalni model savjetovanja ostvarivao bi se u obliku konferencija, seminara, okruglih stolova ili foruma na kojima bi predstavnici obaju sektora raspravljali o različitim aspektima provedbe SSP-a.
A more formal consultative model could be carried out via working groups for harmonisation of the legislation the constitution of which started in September 2002 for the first 14 (of a total of 31) chapters of the acquis.
Formalniji model savjetovanja mogao bi se provesti putem radnih skupina za usklađivanje zakonodavstva čije je konstituiranje počelo u rujnu 2002. godine za prvih 14 (od ukupno 31) poglavlja acquisa.
In line with the objectives of the Co-operation Programme, via its Council for the Development of Civil Society, Associations Office and the MEI, the government should make sure that NGOs, experts for given areas of the acquis, are appropriately represented in the working groups mentioned.
Sukladno ciljevima Programa suradnje, Vlada bi putem svog Savjeta za razvoj civilnog društva, Ureda za udruge i MEI-ja trebala osigurati odgovarajuću zastupljenost predstavnika NVO-a, stručnjaka za pojedina područja acquisa, u spomenutim radnim skupinama.
The special knowledge and experience of NGOs could turn out to be valuable particularly in the preparation of parallel comparative reports about the implementation of the SAA in selected areas, and for independent impact analyses of the adoption of new legislative measures.
Posebna znanja i iskustva NVO-a mogla bi se pokazati vrijednima osobito u pripremi paralelnih, komparativnih izvješća o provedbi SSP-a u odabranim područjima, kao i za neovisne analize učinka usvajanja novih zakonodavnih mjera;
• Via the Office for NGOs and the MEI, it should encourage the more active involvement of NGOs in information and training programmes about European integration.
• preko Ureda za udruge i MEI-ja potaknuti aktivnije uključivanje NVO-a u informacijske i obrazovne programe o europskim integracijama.
The experience of applicant states shows that only qualified and informed NGO representatives can play a quality role in the process of consultation about adjustments to the EU.
Iskustva država kandidatkinja pokazuju da samo osposobljeni i informirani predstavnici NVO-a mogu kvalitetno sudjelovati u procesu savjetovanja o prilagodbama EU.
Bearing in mind the overload on the MEI with its information and training programmes for government officials, as part of the fulfilment of priority measures for the development of institutional and administrative capacities for the implementation of the acquis, it is necessary to consider the possibility of more active collaboration with distinguished European associations so as to be able to develop information and education activities concerning European integration meant for Croatian NGOs.
Uzimajući u obzir preopterećenost MEIja programima informiranja i izobrazbe državnih službenika u sklopu ispunjavanja prioritetnih mjera razvoja institucionalnih i administrativnih kapaciteta za provedbu acquisa, potrebno je razmotriti mogućnost aktivnije suradnje s uglednim europskim udrugama za potrebe razvoja informativno-obrazovnih aktivnosti o europskim integracijama namijenjenih hrvatskim NVO-ima;
• In collaboration with the non-governmental sector, to work out a code of good practice and improvement of the quality of action relating to consultation, evaluation and implementation of policy, in line with the Co-operation Programme.
• u suradnji s nevladinim sektorom izraditi kodeks pozitivne prakse i unaprjeđenja kvalitete djelovanja koji se odnosi na savjetovanje, procjenu politike i provedbu, sukladno Programu suradnje.
While the code is being worked out, it would be important to make sure its contents are consistent with the general principles and minimum standards for consultation of the European Commission and NGOs, as well as with similar and cognate codes developed in other European states.
Pri izradi kodeksa važno bi bilo njegov sadržaj uskladiti s općim načelim i minimalnim standardima za savjetovanje Europske komisije i NVO-a, kao i sa srodnim kodeksima razvijenima u drugim europskim državama;
• Enable a broadly based Internet access to a database for monitoring the implementation of the SAA, harmonising legislation and the technical assistance programmes via the MEI web page.
• omogućiti najširoj javnosti internetski pristup jedinstvenoj bazi podataka za praćenje provedbe SSP-a, usklađivanja zakonodavstva i programa tehničke pomoći, koja bi do kraja 2002. godine trebala biti dovršena u MEI-ju.
The availability of the contents of the said bases via the Internet would make for greater transparency in Croatia's process of adjustment to the EU and would provide an opportunity for a better understanding of the complex and highly technical process of taking on the acquis.
Dostupnost sadržaja navedenih baza putem Interneta omogućila bi veću transparentnost prilagodbi Hrvatske EU te pružila priliku za bolje upoznavanje složenoga i odveć tehničkog procesa usvajanja acquisa.
