GIZ: eKonsultacije Portal
In mid-December 2021 the eConsultation portal was launched to facilitate public participation in developing and monitoring the implementation of public policy – this is a platform that provides timely information to the public about the policy-making process and is a communication channel for their participation in policy making.
The EU4PAR project and other international projects have supported steps towards greater public involvement in the policy-making process. Under these initiatives, the German-Serbian development cooperation project Support to Public Administration Reform in the EU Accession Process implemented by GIZ has provided support for the development of a specific tool – the eConsultation portal. This has included a long period of talks with civil society organizations and bodies of the public administration. We spoke with GIZ project manager Nikola Đurić about the platform and the ways in which civil society and the public can be involved in creating public policies.
