The development of civil society, the construction of a civil dialogue, and the development of institutional and administrative capacities and reforms of the civil service are not codified by the Treaty of Amsterdam, and for these areas there is no list of legally binding norms to facilitate the process of adaptation to the EU for future members. 
Razvoj civilnog društva, izgradnja civilnog dijaloga, jednako kao i razvoj institucionalnih i administrativnih kapaciteta, reforme državne uprave nisu kodificirani Amsterdamskim ugovorom, te za ta područja ne postoji popis pravno obvezujućih normi koji bi budućim članicama olakšao proces prilagodbe EU.
Still, meeting the said requirements is a precondition for joining the Union, and for full success in the process of European integration. 
Ipak, ispunjavanje navedenih zahtjeva preduvjet je za pristup Uniji, kao i za potpun uspjeh procesa europskih integracija.
A dialogue with the non-governmental sector has been for decades a component part of political, social and economic culture in EU member states, and it cannot be instilled by mere decree or directive into countries or societies that because of their political past have not been able to develop this kind of culture. 
Dijalog s nevladinim sektorom desetljećima je u državama članicama EU sastavni dio političke, društvene i gospodarske kulture i nije ju moguće uredbom ili direktivom prenijeti u zemlje ili društva koja zbog svoje političke prošlosti takvu kulturu nisu mogli razviti.
Because of the absence of clearly defined standards in the area of the working of the government with the non-governmental sector and in general for the construction of civil society it is crucially important to have an exchange of experiences and know-how among current and future member states. 
Zbog nedostatka jasno definiranih normi na području suradnje vlade s nevladinim sektorom te općenito, izgradnje civilnog društva presudno je važna razmjena iskustava i znanja među sadašnjim i budućim državama članicama.
In order to help the candidate states to meet the political criteria for membership in the EU, the Union has launched a series of initiatives meant to reinforce civil society in these countries. 
Kako bi pomogla državama kandidatkinjama u ispunjavanju političkih kriterija za članstvo u EU, Unija je pokrenula niz inicijativa namijenjenih jačanju civilnog društva u tim zemljama.
In several countries, via PHARE programme resources, foundations have been set up for the development of civil society. 
U nekoliko su zemalja pomoću sredstava PHARE programa osnovane zaklade za razvoj civilnog društva.
The role of these trusts is to strengthen the organisations of the non-governmental sector so that they should become capable of developing a high-quality dialogue and partnership with the government administration at all levels. 
Uloga je tih zaklada jačanje organizacija trećeg sektora, kako bi one postale sposobne razviti kvalitetan dijalog i partnerstvo s državnom upravom na svim razinama.
Special programmes were set up with PHARE resources, called Lien and Partnership, and they worked between 1993 and 1999. 
Iz sredstava PHARE programa pokrenuti su i zasebni programi pod nazivom LIEN (Spona) i Partnership (Partnerstvo), koji su djelovali od 1993. do 1999. godine.
While the Lien programme was founded in order to encourage ideas and fortify the abilities of associations working with groups in the applicant countries that were disenfranchised or at risk, the Partnership programme was meant mainly for the support of local economic development and collaboration among the private sector, local government and the nongovernmental sector. 
Dok je program LIEN osnovan kako bi poticao ideje i ojačao sposobnost udruga koje rade s ugroženim i obespravljenim skupinama u državama kandidatkinjama, program Partnership bio je usmjeren ponajprije na potporu lokalnom gospodarskom razvoju i suradnji privatnog sektora, lokalne uprave i nevladina sektora.
One of the main aims of the programme is the involvement of the NGOs of the candidate states in activities of the networks and platforms of NGOs at work at the level of the EU. 
Jedan je od glavnih ciljeva programa uključivanje NVO-a iz država kandidatkinja u aktivnosti mreža i platformi NVO-a koji djeluju na razini EU.
EXPERIENCES OF CANDIDATE STATES 
ISKUSTVA DRŽAVA KANDIDATKINJA
In the CEE states that have the status of candidates for membership in the EU there is no lasting tradition of government cooperation with NGOs. 
U državama središnje i istočne Europe sa statusom kandidatkinja za članstvo u EU ne postoji kontinuirana tradicija suradnje vlade s NVO-ima.
Nevertheless, as a result of EU pressure, and encouraged by the need to obtain the support of members of the public for reforms that are required by adjustment to the Union, most of the applicant countries have developed certain formal and informal mechanisms for consultation with the non-governmental sector. 
Ipak, pod pritiskom EU, te potaknute potrebom da pridobiju potporu građana za reforme koje iziskuju prilagodbe Uniji, većina je država kandidatkinja razvila određene formalne i neformalne mehanizme savjetovanja s nevladinim sektorom.
Only after the debate with the NGOs would the negotiating position be sent to the government, the Parliament, and then after all to Brussels. 
Tek nakon rasprave s NVO-ima pregovaračka bi pozicija bila proslijeđena Vladi, Parlamentu, a tek onda u Bruxelles.
Research carried out in the Slovene ministries has shown a very low level of response on the part of associations to this form of informal consultation, and brought out a number of fundamental obstacles in the way of setting up a structured civil dialogue. 
Istraživanje provedeno među slovenskim ministarstvima otkrilo je vrlo nizak odaziv udruga na takav oblik neformalnog savjetovanja te iznijelo na vidjelo nekoliko temeljnih prepreka za uspostavu strukturiranoga civilnog dijaloga.
Among the main problems are an inadequate level of knowledge and information about European integration among Slovene NGOs, the lack of coherence and coordination within the non-governmental sector and the absence of any mutual trust in relations between government and associations. 
Među glavnim problemima izdvojeni su nedostatna razina znanja i informiranosti o europskim integracijama među slovenskim NVO-ima, izostanak koherentnosti i koordinacije unutar nevladina sektora te nedostatak obostranog povjerenja u odnosu Vlade i udruga.
During 2001, the Slovene government passed decrees aimed at a better structuring of its dialogue with the associations, primarily the foundation of a Commission for Collaboration with the Organisations of Civil Society, a horizontal body of the government composed of governmental officials from various ministries, through the work of which a common government strategy for the development of civil society would gradually be produced. 
Tijekom 2001. slovenska je Vlada donijela uredbe kojima se predviđa bolje strukturiranje njezina dijaloga s udrugama, ponajprije osnivanjem Komisije za suradnju s organizacijama civilnog društva, horizontalnog tijela Vlade sastavljenog od državnih družnosnika iz različitih ministarstava, djelovanjem koje bi se postupno stvarala zajednička Vladina strategija za razvoj civilnog društva.
Also passed was a decision about the establishment of a more formal form of consultation with NGOs by the foundation of expert committees for various areas in which the representatives of the societies for a given sector would be appointed by the associations themselves, and not by the government. 
Također je donesena odluka o uspostavi formalnijeg oblika savjetovanja s NVO-ima osnivanjem ekspertnih odbora za različita područja u koje bi predstavnike udruga za pojedini sektor imenovale same udruge, a ne Vlada.
The process of appointing representatives turned out to be a great challenge for the non-governmental sector and drew attention to the very low level of internal democracy in the associations. 
Proces imenovanja predstavnika udruga pokazao se kao veliki izazov za nevladin sektor te skrenuo pozornost na nisku razinu unutarnje demokracije u udrugama.
A year before the beginning of negotiations concerning joining the EU, the European Integration Office of the Polish government started off the process of consultation with NGOs and other organisations of civil society within the so-called partner groups, which, as expert consultative bodies, are supposed to work in parallel with the working groups set up for the sake of drawing up negotiating positions for each chapter of the acquis. 
Godinu dana prije početka pregovora o pristupanju EU Ured za europske integracije poljske Vlade pokrenuo je proces savjetovanja s NVO-ima te ostalim organizacijama civilnog društva unutar tzv. partnerskih skupina, koje su kao stručna savjetodavna tijela trebala djelovati paralelno s radnim skupinama osnovanima radi izrade pregovaračkih pozicija za svako od poglavlja acquisa.
The dialogue between a negotiating team and the partner groups is considerably hampered because of the specialised bureaucratic language in EU documents, intelligible only to a narrow circle of employees in the structures of the administration, and an additional hurdle turned out to be an inadequate understanding of foreign languages, because it was infeasible to translate hundreds of pages of EU documents for each meeting with the partner groups. 
Dijalog između pregovaračkoga tima i partnerskih skupina znatno je otežan zbog specijalizirane birokratske terminologije u dokumentima EU, razumljive tek uskom krugu zaposlenika u strukturama državne uprave, a dodatnom se preprekom pokazalo i nedovoljno poznavanje stranih jezika jer nije bilo izvedivo prevesti stotine stranica dokumenata EU za svaki sastanak s partnerskim skupinama.
These obstacles led to a gradual weakening of the links with the partner groups, and in the advanced phase of the negotiations the dialogue with representatives of the NGOs turned from consultations into the mere transmission of information about the progress of the negotiations (Hausner, Marody, 2001). 
Te su prepreke dovele do postupnog slabljenja veza s partnerskim skupinama, da bi se u naprednoj fazi pregovora dijalog s predstavnicima NVO-a iz savjetovanja pretvorio u informiranje o napretku pregovora (Hausner, Marody, 2001).
The challenges faced by the Slovene and Polish governmental and non-governmental sectors are very largely paradigmatic for the other countries of CEE. 
Izazovi s kojima se suočavaju slovenski i poljski vladin i nevladin sektor uvelike su paradigmatični i za ostale zemlje središnje i istočne Europe.
There have been attempts to solve the problem of inadequacy in the organisation and coordination that are preconditions for a sustainable and constructive dialogue with the government in several of the applicant countries by the founding of a centre, forum or network to facilitate the consultation process. 
Problem nedovoljne organiziranosti i koordinacije kao jednoga od preduvjeta održivoga i konstruktivnog dijaloga s vladom u nekoliko se država kandidatkinja nastojao riješiti uspostavom centra, foruma ili mreže kojima bi se trebao olakšati proces savjetovanja.
This objective, for instance, led to the foundation of the NGO Centre of Slovenia (CNVOS), the National Forum of Hungarian NGOs entitled Civil Europe - Civil Hungary and the Polish Forum of Non-Governmental Initiatives (FIP). 
S tim su ciljem, primjerice, osnovani Centar nevladinih organizacija Slovenije (CNVOS), Nacionalni forum mađarskih NVO-a pod nazivom Civil Europe - Civil Hungary te Poljski forum nevladinih inicijativa (FIP).
One of the great successes of the Polish Non-Governmental Initiatives Forum, which served as a spur to NGOs in other applicant countries, was the foundation of the Polish NGO Office in Brussels™, with the organisational and technical support of the ECAS (European Citizens Action Service) and the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) associations. 
Jedan od velikih uspjeha Poljskog foruma nevladinih inicijativa, koji je poslužio kao poticaj NVO-ima u ostalim zemljama kandidatkinjama, jest osnivanje Ureda poljskih NVO-a u Bruxellesuxiii, uz organizacijsko-tehničku potporu udruga European Citizens Action Service (ECAS) i Charities Aid Foundation (CAF).
The remit of the Office was to set up links with European institutions, to contribute to the more rapid involvement of Polish associations in the work of sectoral networks and NGO platforms at the level of the EU and give them regular information about essential novelties in the work of European institutions, the possibilities of using EU financial support, and the educational opportunities. 
Zadaća je Ureda uspostaviti veze s europskim institucijama, pridonijeti bržem uključivanju poljskih udruga u rad sektorskih mreža i platformi NVO-a na razini EU te ih redovito informirati o bitnim novostima iz rada europskih institucija, o mogućnostima korištenja financijskom potporom EU, kao i sudjelovati na seminarima i konferencijama.
In preparation is the foundation of such offices for Slovene and Hungarian NGOs, and the same thing is expected for NGOs in other applicant countries. 
U pripremi je osnivanje takvih ureda za slovenske i mađarske NVO-e, a isto se očekuje i od NVO-a u ostalim državama kandidatkinjama.
In spite of the efforts the Union is making to support the development of civil society in applicant countries, most of these countries are characterised by the marked lack of confidence and trust in the relations between the government and the non-governmental sector (EU ECS, 1999). 
Unatoč naporu što ga Unija ulaže u potporu razvoju civilnog društva u zemljama kandidatkinjama, za većinu je tih zemalja karakteristična visoka razina nepovjerenja u odnosu između vlade i nevladina sektora (EU Economic and Social Committee, 1999.).
The cause of this is the fact that civil society primarily entered the political dictionary of the lands of CEE as an opposition idea, and is still so considered to a good extent. 
Uzrok tomu je činjenica da je civilno društvo u politički leksikon zemalja središnje i istočne Europe prvotno ušlo, i još se uvijek donekle takvim smatra, kao opozicijska ideja.
In addition, the culture of consultation and dialogue, as basic democratic process, is not continuously rooted in the tradition of these countries (Rosenblum, Post, 2002). 
Usto, kultura savjetovanja i dijaloga kao osnovni demokratski proces nije kontinuirano ukorijenjena u tradiciju tih zemalja (Rosenblum, Post, 2002).
In the context of the preparations for EU entry, an additional cause for lack of trust is the excessively technical nature of negotiations and adaptation to the Union, which sometimes cast a shadow over the fundamental values of the European integration process. 
U kontekstu priprema za ulazak u EU dodatni je uzrok nepovjerenja odveć tehnička priroda pregovora i prilagodbi Uniji, koji nerijetko zasjenjuju temeljne vrijednosti europskoga integracijskog procesa.
An overemphasis on the standardising and technical aspect of adopting the acquis and neglect of dialogue among citizens are among the main causes of the poor support of the populations of the applicant countries for entry into the EU.xiv 
Pretjerani naglasak na normativnome i tehničkom aspektu usvajanja acquisa, te zanemarivanje dijaloga s građanima među glavnim su uzrocima slabije potpore stanovništva država kandidatkinjama ulasku u EUxiv.
CIVIL DIALOGUE IN CROATIA: OPPORTUNITIES AND OBSTACLES 
CIVILNI DIJALOG U HRVATSKOJ: MOGUĆNOSTI I PREPREKE
The foundation of the government's Office for NGOs in 1998 turned out to be a key factor in the establishment of trust and the construction of a dialogue between the Croatian government and the NGOs. 
Osnivanje Vladina ureda za udruge potkraj 1998. godine pokazalo se ključnim čimbenikom u uspostavi povjerenja i izgradnji dijaloga Vlade RH i NVO-a.
In the not quite four years of its work, the Office for NGOs, with very limited resources, has contributed to numerous advances in the relations of the two sectors, as well as to an improvement of the state of affairs within the non-governmental sector. 
Za nepune četiri godine svog djelovanja Ured za udruge s vrlo je ograničenim resursima pridonio brojnim pomacima u odnosima dvaju sektora, ali i poboljšanju stanja unutar nevladina sektora.
The Office for NGOs made it possible for the NGOs to take part in the drawing up of both these documents. 
Ured za udruge omogućio je NVO-ima sudjelovanje u izradi obaju dokumenata.
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.
