Democratic engagement initiatives in the Balkans

Overview

Efforts to bolster democratic engagement and political literacy are expanding across the Balkan region, specifically in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In Croatia, the organization Gong is organizing a citizen panel in Zagreb to discuss democratic challenges and European policies, aiming to provide recommendations for institutional accountability. Meanwhile, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, advocates such as the Aarhus Center are pushing for a unified Law on Citizen Initiative to create a systemic legal framework for legislative participation.

Furthering these goals in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Civic Lab has introduced educational projects in Sarajevo and Banja Luka. These initiatives focus on improving political literacy among youth through interactive activities designed to make complex democratic processes and government accountability more accessible.
