2 When received an official invitation to start negotia- tions with the European Union (EU) in 1999, the Open Society Foun- dation – Sofia established a new policy: to include a European di- mension in all programs, yet preserve the flexibility to address other important societal issues.

Year OSF – Sofia supported the establishment of a European Insti- tute aimed at providing EU expertise to the government and work-

1999 – ing on government-commissioned research projects. In keeping with its open society agenda, the Foundation participated in strategic ini- tiatives such as the forward-looking National Plan for Economic De- velopment. It also remained committed to longtime priorities such as education and culture.

The cooperation with the European Union strengthened in the past year. The Foundation monitored EU-funded projects and was invited to join the working group for a new EU ACCESS program. The Association of Open Society Clubs administered the PHARE Part-

the European nership program of the European Union. In collaborationOpen with USAID and ABA-CEELI, the Foundation established the Magistrates Train- ing Center, which received an endorsement from the Ministry of Justice and a funding commitment from the European Commission. OSF – Sofia supported a number of projects aimed at democratizing the penitentiary system. Training for penitentiary staff on European and international standards governing the treatmentSociety of prisoners was one of several projects for prison reform. To promote good governance, the Public Administration Staff Training Project and a consor- tium of higher education institutions trained local government administration representatives in basic managerialFoundation skills. To increase citizens’ access to information, several projects helped draft the Access to Information Law and carried out extensive public awareness campaigns.

In the field of education, OSF-Sofia focused on harmonizing Bulgarian higher education with EU requirements, qualitySofia assurance, and management. A joint project on new information manage- ment strategies was launched with the Ministry of Education. A set of indicators was developed for quality management in higher education, a project that was endorsed by the Ministry of Education, the EU, and the World Bank.

Minority issues were another priority area in 1999, with continued support to the 11 Roma Community Centers set up to provide administrative and legal services and mediation with local authorities. Activities included seminars, university scholarships, English language teaching courses, and training for primary school teaching assistants.

Programs of the Media Development Center supported a Romani newspaper and magazine, two Armenian language newspapers, and a Turkish language newspaper and children’s magazine. A weekly broadcast in Turkish and a Romani biweekly television show went on the air in 1999. A network of journalists from the Balkan countries produced The Balkans magazine, with a print version in Bulgarian and a website version in English. The Media Development Center also pro- moted internationally accepted standards of journalism and organized training courses in radio management and journalism skills.

3 In the area of public health, the Foundation funded a feasibility study that served as a basis for new regulations for hospice management, helped set up a Palliative Care Foundation to launch the first hospice in the country, and provided support to HIV-positive patients through counseling and advocacy.

In response to the war in Kosovo, the Foundation provided medicines and consumables for refugee camps, conducted a needs assessment in a Macedonian hospital in Tetovo, which serviced many Kosovo refugees, and created a website to inform policymakers, journalists, and political sci- entists throughout the crisis.

An NGO Resource Center was established early in the year with start-up support from OSF – Sofia to provide training, consultation, and information to Bulgarian nonprofit organizations. The movement toward European Union integration is felt particularly in the NGO community, which will have a larger role and more political leverage in civil society as the democratic process unfolds in Bulgaria.

The Open Society Foundation – Sofia continued to support its network of affiliated organiza- tions: the Soros Center for the Arts, the Media Development Center, the Bulgarian NGO Resource Center, the Step by Step Program Foundation, the National Debates Association, the Bulgarian Asso- ciation for Regional Development, and the Raina KabaivanskaOpen Charity Foundation.
