This is time of numerous changes and challenges for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). The new Law on CSOs has been adopted. This has opened new financing programs and has created conditions for the stronger development of social entrepreneurship and questions the problems organizations face on a daily basis. We have devoted this year’s regional conference to these topics. This will show civil society the best way to ensure space for dialogue between the institutions and CSOs.

New programs and research results on socio-economic effects of support the National Foundation for Development of Civil Society will be presented at the conference. The European Social Fund (ESF), offers opportunities that shows the Strategy of development of social entrepreneurship, new Law on NGO’s, and priorities and plans of the Council for CSO’s development.
