Szentendre, Hungary DECEMBER 2006 About the REC

The Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC) is a non-partisan, non-advocacy, not-for-profit international organisation with a mission to assist in solving environmental problems in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The center fulfils this mission by promoting cooperation among non-governmental organisations, governments, businesses and other environmental stakeholders, and by supporting the free exchange of information and public participation in environmental decision making.

The REC was established in 1990 by the United States, the European Commission and Hungary. Today, the REC is legally based on a charter signed by the governments of 28 countries and the European Commission, and on an international agreement with the government of Hungary. The REC has its head office in Szentendre, Hungary, and country offices and field offices in 17 beneficiary countries, which are: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey.

Recent donors are the European Commission and the governments of Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as other inter-governmental and private institutions.

Main findings: Legal and regulatory framework

• The state of CSO registration law is partly in flux, especially with regard to tax and financial matters. • ECSOs in the regions are particularly affected by the two-stage registration process. • There are substantial opportunities to operate without full legal compliance and ECSOs often take advantage of this to avoid dealing with authorities. • ECSOs that are able to comply with legal requirements can take advantage of a relatively favourable tax system. • Authorities apply the rules inconsistently due to insufficient training, insufficient norm formation, or personal or official bias. • General legal frameworks are in place but implementation and enforcement are lacking. • Some positive experiences are evident in cooperation on law drafting, but without a legal framework. • Albania’s legal system does not accommodate genuine legal advocacy, and ECSOs consequently have not developed advocacy skills. • Legal assistance and expertise are relatively important needs for Albanian environmental ECSOs.

Resource base The legal structure for access to justice in In Albania the picture presented seems to Albania is insufficient and does not provide show that there is not a sufficient diversity or real opportunities for advocacy. ECSOs share number of sources and that donors’ priorities the extremely negative views expressed are generally driving the ECSOs’ activities. The throughout the region on the overall imple- development of the movement, coupled to a mentation and enforcement of law, although reduction in the number of donors and shift in they are slightly more optimistic about donor priorities, has led to a reduction in top- enforcement as compared to their neigh- ics that are covered by funding and to bours.

Main findings: Resource base

• Foreign project funds provide the main resources for the sector. • In general ECSOs have unreliable information on the funding opportunities available. This is particularly true for ECSOs from outside Tirana. • There is no overall policy or strategy for providing financial assistance from the government to ECSOs. • ECSOs see promise in funding from the European Union (Commission), but they find it difficult to comply with EC funding procedures and requirements. • For equipment resources Albania appears to be statistically better off than the SEE regional averages, but there are still significant numbers without equipment. • One-fifth of ECSOs own their own office space (nearly double the SEE regional average), while around a quarter work informally or through the work places of their members. This represents quite different conditions for the groups working in the country. • ECSOs need more support staff, such as network coordinators, public relations officers, fundraisers or financial administrators. • Philanthropic activities in Albania are currently limited. Funding from private and self-generated sources is not common.

Main findings: Human and organisational capacities

• Concepts of strategic leadership, process management and its tools are generally well known. • Fundraising strategy is considered as the most important tool for strategic leadership, but few organisations exhibit a fully developed one. • Governance bodies are generally weak and have limited influence in the work of the organisations. • Communication and PR strategies are rarely developed, while many ECSOs perceive the need for better communication with the public and other stakeholders and for building a better image. • Only 16 percent of the organisations consider their performance as successful. The main obstacles seen in their work are the lack of infrastructure and motivation of the members, but also external reasons such as indifference of citizens to environmental issues due to economic, social and political instability in the country. • Donors, government and support organisations’ representatives consider that ECSOs tend to lack vision, transparency, and accountability, and to be donor driven, while the ECSOs themselves believe just the opposite.

Main findings: Information and knowledge base ALBANIA

• Generally there is insufficient official sustainable development and environment information available to ECSOs, and that which is available is often of dubious quality (out of date, poorly presented, and unreliable). • Distribution of official sustainable development and environment information (both proactive and passive) is problematic and improvement is requested by ECSOs. • Almost all ECSOs welcome improvements in the exchange of information with authorities, both physical and virtual, not least because of a dearth of procedures and legal basis. • Albanian ECSOs are significant sources of information, maintaining collections of environmental books, reports, brochures and pamphlets, and generally consider their knowledge capacities and skills on the environmental topics they work on as “adequate,” but nevertheless welcome additional training to enhance their internal knowledge. • Cost is an obstacle to Albanian ECSOs gathering of information; most tend only to do this when financed through specific projects. Around half are equipped with the appropriate equipment to manage information. • Pamphlets and brochures are the most popularly published forms of information. E-mail, independent newspaper articles or advertisements and Internet websites are used by ECSOs to distribute information. Although again cost is a significant constraint to widespread distribution (e.g. via the media), besides “processing power,” in order to present information in a way that is understood by citizens. Consequently there is little public reaction to many issues besides the initial media reaction.

ALBANIA ation takes place with the pressure from ECSOs to government and its outcome depends a lot on the good will of decision makers. A few good examples of cooperation exist, though mostly at the local level. • There are no rules or requirements regarding the selection and delegation of CSO representatives to different cooperative bodies with the government. • ECSOs are not experienced in working with the general public to get them involved and mobilised in the decision-making process. • Good interaction between ECSOs and local stakeholders usually exists but it often occurs within the framework of a project, has a top-down approach and its impact is limited. • ECSOs are too dependent on donor initiative for their interaction with communities. • Cooperation with national/local business is rather limited. • The legislative framework for access to information and public participation is generally good, but implementation, enforcement and the lack of rules remain the key problems. ECSOs are most active in the field of public participation, and less active in making official information requests. Little has occurred in the access to justice field nationally or locally. • ECSO involvement is generally well accepted in decision making, but it is not as critical as it might be for fear of repercussions. • The lack of defined procedures on how to request information forces ESCOs to use an alternative information channel through personal contacts. • Though endorsed by the environment ministry, guidelines on public participation procedures in the EIA process have rarely been followed in practice. • Regarding public participation, ECSOs acknowledge that their role in local/regional/national decision making or development planning is consultative or participatory, but not yet influential. Public involvement at the local level tends to bring more satisfactory outcomes. • Access to justice rights are not exercised individually or collectively. • There is a lack of understanding among the general public and ECSOs on environmental rights guaranteed by Albanian legislation and ratified international conventions .

ECSOs not only need to be equipped with the

means to gather, process and give informa- ALBANIA tion, but also require the necessary processing power to give high quality information.

Accountability The review of the current status of the public accountability in Albania concerning the legal and administrative provisions and practice of implementation of the rights derived from the Aarhus Convention has shown a tendency for increased elaboration and improvement of the legal instruments for the implementation of these rights. However, there is still a deficit of clear rules, practical guidelines and sometimes administrative willingness to inform the general public and ECSOs and involve them in the decision- making process. As such, cooperation between governmental bodies and ECSOs is insufficient and limited. The ECSOs are mainly taking the role of consultation and passive participation but not of real players who are influential and respected partners. The ECSOs perceive that effectiveness of the judicial system in environmental cases is also far from satisfactory. At the local level cooperation is much better and relationships between different stakeholders more constructive: the ECSOs have developed good communications with the local communities, and relatively close cooperation with the media. Contacts with businesses are limited, partly due to their image in the eyes of ECSOs as polluters and unfair partners.

Main findings: Legal and regulatory framework

• The legal framework for registration is good, but administrative practice is problematic. • A multiplicity of authorities and jurisdictions creates obstacles for smooth operations of ECSOs throughout the country. • Authorities apply the rules inconsistently due to insufficient training, insufficient norm formation, or personal or official bias. • The tax structure is not yet developed and differs across jurisdictions. • ECSOs provide services and engage in other commercial activities, sometimes in partnership with private companies. • Despite CSO involvement in law drafting, there is a general lack of sense of ownership of the legal regime. • Information and participation legal frameworks are in place but implementation and enforcement are lacking. • BiH’s legal system does not accommodate genuine legal advocacy, and ECSOs consequently have not developed advocacy skills. • Legal assistance and expertise are relatively important needs for BiH environmental ECSOs.

Main findings: Resource base

• Over two-thirds of the sampled ECSOs receive funding from government grants (local and central). • Local municipalities supply important, but usually smaller, funds to the sector. • Foreign government funding has tended to become more specific and more complex to access, which has had an impact on ECSO activities (regarding issues covered and success rates). • Overall groups have larger budgets than five years ago, but a significant number of ECSOs are still in the lower budget categories, with over 60 percent of groups reporting that they have financial difficulties. • Staff turnover (staff retention) is a major problem for Bosnian and Herzegovinian groups. • Many Bosnian and Herzegovinian ECSOs need to improve their fundraising and proposal writing abilities. However, there are some very experienced groups with complex and advanced marketing activities. • There is a roughly fifty-fifty split between groups with good and poor equipment resources. • Over two-thirds of ECSOs rent their office accommodation; but this cost is often ineligible or limited in many project funds.

Main findings: Human and organisational capacities

• The concept of strategic leadership, process management and its tools are generally well known, but have not usually been considered important for building efficient and effective organisations. BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA • ECSOs are generally well structured and flexible; however, none of the organisations interviewed had amended their structures in order to respond better to their mission. • ECSOs’ missions are dependent or driven by donor priorities, the level of local development or government policies. • Only five out of 83 organisations surveyed on their level of performance consider their performance as unsuccessful. To the extent performances were less than expected the main obstacles given in hindering the work of ECSOs were the lack of interest in the environment, sustainable development and institutional building from the government, a lack of public support for the ECSOs’ activities and the lack of expertise within the organisations themselves. • ECSOs do not tend to cooperate with each other due to competition for funds. funding sources gathered by groups is fairly stay flexible in order to fulfil donors’ priori- diverse, the resource base in Bosnia and ties.

Main findings: Information and knowledge base

• There is a general dearth of sustainable development and environment information, brought about by the fact there is little environmental monitoring in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and no agency coordinating ongoing activities, in terms of either processing or disseminating this information. • The official sustainable development and environment information available to ECSOs is found to be of problematic quality (not up-to-date, poorly presented and/or unreliable). • Distribution of official sustainable development and environment information (both proactive and passive) is insufficient and improvement is requested by ECSOs. • Almost all ECSOs welcomed improvements in exchanging information with authorities, both physical and virtual, not least because many are not aware of the possibilities for public participation. • BiH ECSOs are significant sources of information, maintaining collections of environmental books, reports, monitoring data and statistics, as well as environmental CD-ROMs and gen- BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA erally consider their organisation’s knowledge capacities and skills on the environmental topics they work on as “adequate.” They nevertheless welcome additional training to enhance their internal knowledge. • ECSOs gather primary as well as secondary information for their work. Around half are not equipped with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) equipment, while one- third use desktop publishing and one-fifth use database equipment to manage information. • Pamphlets and brochures are the most popularly published forms of information.

Main findings: Accountability

• Although there is no explicit document dealing with cooperation with civil society, there are a few bodies at the entity level related to environmental issues in which representatives of ECSOs can participate. However, it needs to be clarified how the CSO representatives should be delegated (elected/selected) and what the terms of their participation are. • Cooperation between ECSOs and local communities is increasing, but it usually does not take the form of intensive and close collaboration such as involving them in working groups, expert groups, focus groups, etc. • It is still not a general practice for ECSOs to work closely together on projects or concrete activities with the citizens or local governments on concrete initiatives or issues in partnership. • There are no critical views on the side of ECSOs on how much they really listen to the needs of the citizens and communities or how much they represent the communities when developing their activities. BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA • Cooperation with businesses is at an early stage, with some groups changing perceptions and starting to build cooperation as opposed to confrontation. • Although the legal framework entitles ECSOs to access information and participate in different types of decision making, ECSOs do not practice these rights enough and often do not know what their rights are, much less how to use them efficiently. • Despite improvements regarding access to information, the establishment of proper information flow among different authorities, collection of information, making available and providing the information to the public in a proper way and format is still a problem (particularly electronically). • Although public participation rights are included now in the laws regarding permitting, EIA, SEA, and planning as well as water, waste, nature conservation issues, the implementation of procedures is hindered by practical problems of how to carry out notification and information related to EIAs or how to organise a public hearing, how to take comments into account, etc. The lack of proper notification and information provision related to the EIA can be an obstacle for the public and ECSOs to be prepared and be able to participate. • ECSOs are involved as partners in public participation in EIA, developing strategic documents, and laws, and in the process of developing environmental action plan documents. During the EIA procedure the main problem is often with the provision of information, the clarity of documents and how the CSO/public comments are taken into account. • The access to justice pillar is far from being implemented, which is linked with the general administrative and judicial reform. This needs years to bring results, due to the lack of knowledge about the rights of citizens, how those rights can be exercised, the lack of free legal assistance and advice to support the citizens in complaining when their rights are infringed. • Rights of access to justice in environmental matters are not practiced, and there is no access to legal advice or support for CSO and citizens when they need it. As such, there have not been any appeals or court cases in BiH on environmental issues.

These are not yet fully implemented in practice, but there have been some improvements lately, according to both officials and ECSOs in the implementation of access to informa- BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA tion and public participation requirements. The more detailed implementing regulations, rules and guidance materials that would fill in the gaps and support the more efficient application of the access to information and public participation requirements in practice are often missing. The financial and human resources are also not appropriate to support the more effective functioning of institutions and mechanisms. The situation regarding access to justice is lagging behind. Enforce- ment and a lack of clear rules and procedures remain key problems. There are some legally established institutional opportunities for the cooperation of government authorities with ECSOs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but these are new, not used or not yet fully utilised. These bodies need to be developed further in order to make them function more effectively.

Main findings: Legal and regulatory framework

• The legal framework for registration is likely the best in the region. • ECSOs take their legal status and legal requirements seriously, although some also stretch legal limits. • Excessive legal requirements inhibit the establishment of foundations. • The repeal of VAT exemptions and a generally unfavourable tax regime has contributed to a lack of trust between the civil society and authorities. • “Homeland” (national culture and folklore, patriotism, war veterans, etc.) CSOs are treated more favourably. • A lack of responsiveness of authorities to information requests and attempts by ECSOs to participate in decision making lead to the impression that they do not consider ECSOs to be partners. • Information and participation legal frameworks are in place, but implementation and enforcement are lacking. • Croatia’s legal system is not very favourable to genuine legal advocacy, although there is a higher rate than in other parts of the region. • ECSOs consider legal assistance and expertise as among the most important staffing and training needs.

Main findings: Resource base

• Domestic sources of funding have seen an increase over the last few years. • The National Foundation for Development of Civil Society has increased domestic sources of funds, although it might have too much dominance in the sector as a funder. However, such an approach may serve as a model for other SEE countries. • Local government programmes are important but suffer from unclear procedures and crite- ria, though the situation is improving. • Foreign donors are withdrawing; importantly, their role in supporting less politically favoured activities might be missed. • Generally, Croatian environmental ECSOs exhibit a more positive financial status than their SEE colleagues. • Donor priorities are criticised for not matching the needs of the ECSOs. • Two-thirds of Croatian groups state that they have adequate equipment resources, which is much higher than the regional average. • More than one-third of Croatian environmental groups work from informal office space or require none at all. • Croatian ECSOs find it difficult to retain professional staff, as they cannot offer competitive salaries. • A small number of ECSOs are successfully practicing self-financing. • Organised philanthropy development appears to be taking off slowly in Croatia. However there are positive indications for increases of corporate support.

Main findings: Human and organisational capacities

• The concepts of strategic leadership, process management and its tools are generally well known and widely used by Croatian ECSOs. • Many ECSOs perceive the need for better cooperation and communication with the government as urgent, as are more interest and involvement of the public in environmental issues. • ECSOs are very much orientated towards European Union accession issues. • Croatian groups are generally strong, but there is a danger regarding their ability to implement projects due to a lack of staff; lack of infrastructure, especially for small organisations; and relatively weak support from the general public, which supports CSOs to varying degrees in different parts of Croatia (support from the general public is generally stronger in the north, west and northwest of Croatia due to the more intensive economic development).

Main findings: Information and knowledge base

• There is some weakness in the sustainable development and environmental information available for public consumption, mainly due to the fact that there is no effective system for its dissemination, at least in their opinion. • Official information available to ECSOs is found to be of problematic quality (out of date, poorly presented, or unreliable). • Distribution of official sustainable development and environment information (both proactive and passive) is reported as insufficient and improvement is requested by ECSOs. • Almost all ECSOs welcomed improvements in exchanging information with authorities, both physical and virtual, at the same time requesting the government’s greater openness to debate and accountability. • Croatian ECSOs are significant sources of information, maintaining collections of environmental books, articles, and press releases, besides brochures, environmental CD-ROMs, monitoring data and statistics, and generally consider their organisation’s knowledge capaci-

Main findings: Accountability

• Positively, Croatia has official structures for and policy on cooperation with civil society organisations, reflected by regional partnership committees and the National Foundation for Develop- ment of Civil Society. • ECSOs claim that there are no specific rules regarding the selection and delegation of CSO representatives to different cooperative bodies with the government. • Authentic cooperation exists with local communities and citizens. Regular contact and activities are made with municipalities. • Public lack of trust towards ECSOs can still be found. More visibility and transparency of their work is needed, including presentation of annual and financial reports. Croatian groups need to better demonstrate their impact and results. • Some ECSOs have developed a strategy to work with businesses, though cooperation on initiatives varies widely from good and constructive to more-or-less sporadic and ad hoc. • There are enough legal tools to implement the recently adopted Aarhus Convention, but enforcement remains a problem. As such ECSOs are very critical towards every aspect of access to information, public participation and access to justice.

CROATIA • ECSOs say that they face limited access to information, as the practices of delivering information are weak, information requests tend not to be answered in the required timeframe, or they are incomplete. Nevertheless, ECSOs are more positive about the environment ministry than other ministries. • A substantial obstacle for exercising Aarhus rights under the environmental impact assessment procedures is the requirement of legal interest for participation in public hearings, which limits the involvement of ECSOs. • Access to justice is difficult. It is not always clear to whom to appeal (in a case of limited access to information, for example). • ECSOs are the most active on the field of public participation, but less active in making official information requests. Little has occurred in the field of access to justice.

tion of CSO representatives to different cooperative bodies with the government. As a result they feel that the involvement of ECSOs is rather ad hoc and not transparent. Also the factors that are influencing the development of the legal and administrative frameworks tend to be external, led by the EU accession obligations and donor programmes. The capacity and will of the state administration should be increased in order to facilitate cooperation with the movement to a greater extent. Croatian ECSOs have developed good modes of cooperation with different partners, such as the general public and local communities. For example, with the local authorities, ECSOs have managed to link their priorities

with those of locally focussed projects, such CROATIA as help to handicapped people and senior citizens, eco-tourism and nature bicycle routes, and spatial planning projects. Howev- er, there are some issues that the environmental groups could address better (like waste management) and the visibility and transparency of the work of ECSOs could be presented further by improved sharing and publicising of their project results. ECSOs report that the status of their cooperation with businesses varies from a good and constructive cooperation at local level to sporadic and ad hoc with larger companies. However, much of the cooperation is based on personal contacts. Good examples include concrete projects regarding a waste- water treatment plant and a river coalition on water management.

Main findings: Legal and regulatory framework

• The legal framework for registration is good, but procedures can be time-consuming. • ECSOs generally do not benefit from tax advantages, and have the same tax treatment as for-profit companies. • Many ECSOs mix for-profit activities with public benefit activities, often through establishing separate but linked legal entities. • Many ECSOs do not adequately implement particular legal requirements, especially those related to governance and financial reporting. • Legal frameworks for information, participation and other matters relevant to ECSOs are well-developed according to international standards, but actual implementation is problematic. • ECSOs are well represented in legislative drafting processes.

Main findings: Resource base

• Foreign funds dominate the resource base of environmental ECSOs in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, but that funding is perceived to be declining and/or changing its scope. • Private foundations funds (domestic and foreign) are the most financially important types of sources followed by public grants (foreign and domestic). FYR MACEDONIA • Domestic government service contracts appear to be of increasing importance, but for government grants the amounts remain relatively low and the procedures are not considered transparent enough. • There is little consistent information on government funds currently available to ECSOs. • The process of decentralising government to the local authorities is an opportunity for ECSOs to build-up a broader and more locally rooted resource base. • Since 2001 the average budget of Macedonian ECSOs has increased strikingly, with the EUR 10,001-50,000 range now representing the biggest category (previously it was the EUR 1,001-5,000 range). However a significant number (one in five) have budgets of less than EUR 500 per year. • There is a roughly fifty-fifty split between the ECSOs that report good finances and those with unstable or poor ones. • One in five Macedonian ECSOs surveyed have their own accommodation, representing a good platform for future activities.

Main findings: Human and organisational capacities

• Overall the concept of strategic leadership, process management and its tools are generally well known and widely used. • Macedonian ECSOs appear to be relatively well structured and adapted organisations. • Many ECSOs perceive the need for better cooperation and communication with the government as urgent and for more interest and involvement of the public in environmental issues. • The legal framework is a disincentive for attracting volunteers as reimbursements are taxed as personal income. • Internal dissent among many of the (mostly bigger) environmental organisations has prevented them from performing according to their potential and from building a better public image of the sector. • ECSOs appear generally strong, but there is a danger regarding their future project implementation abilities due to a lack of staff, weak support from the public and sometimes a lack of infrastructure and access to funds (especially for small organisations from rural areas).

128 NGO DIRECTORY OVERVIEW

Main findings: Information and knowledge base

• While the availability of official information is generally considered adequate by ECSOs, they state that it is often of insufficient quality (not up to date, poorly presented and/or unreliable). • Diverse mechanisms for the distribution of official sustainable development and environment information (both proactive and passive) were described, although improvement is requested by ECSOs, including official responses to information requests. • Almost all ECSOs welcomed improvements in exchanging information with authorities, both physical and virtual. • Around half of ECSOs in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia maintain collections of environmental books, brochures, CD-ROMs and reports. Three quarters consider their organisation’s knowledge capacities/skills on the environmental topics they work on as “adequate.” Nevertheless, all welcome additional training to enhance their internal knowledge. • ECSOs tend to be ineffective in undertaking their own data research. Almost two-thirds are equipped with database equipment to manage information, while less than a one-fifth use desktop publishing equipment. • Pamphlets and brochures are the most popularly published forms of information, alongside press releases and newspaper/periodical articles. E-mail, CD-ROM, direct mail, telephone and fax are most popularly used by ECSOs to distribute information.

NGO DIRECTORY 129 OVERVIEW

Main findings: Accountability

• Governmental policy or cooperation procedures towards ECSOs are absent. ECSOs say they are involved in consultation processes randomly, without any harmonised approach (often the consultation requirements are driven by international projects or based on outside requests) and real, continuous and solid discussion between the decision makers and ECSOs does not take place. • There are no rules or requirements regarding the selection and delegation of CSO representatives to different cooperative bodies with the government. Nevertheless, some new developments in this regard are being considered. • Cooperation at the local level is better than at the central level. This is in part due to the decentralisation process, especially for some environmental duties where ECSOs could become a natural partner to municipalities (local waste issues are key as municipalities often have little capacity or knowledge). Closer cooperation is often limited due to the fact that CSOs have very little to offer the local community. • Cooperation with local business takes place from time to time, and there is more willingness to establish a solid partnership among ECSOs. • The legislative framework for access to information and public participation is generally good, while implementation, support through up-to-date guidelines and procedures remain the main problems. Neither authorities nor ECSOs know how to arrange an efficient decision-making process which could bring stakeholders to mutually agreed decisions. • Public authorities expect ECSOs to take a more active role in commenting on draft documents, giving meaningful input to the different processes. According to ECSOs, however, these requests often fail to reach them and usually only carefully selected CSO representatives are invited to drafting groups. There is no clear procedure among CSOs on how these selected representatives collect inputs from the other members of the CSO community and report back to them.

FYR MACEDONIA • ECSOs do not have the capacities or the knowledge to engage fully in many of the decision- making processes (EIA, planning, etc). As such, Aarhus rights are exercised at a low level, where very few ECSOs have submitted official information requests and even fewer have been taking part in any kind of decision-making process. • Good examples of cooperation, shared decision making and implementation of decisions exist at the local level. • Previous initiatives on access to justice have stopped and await financial support for continuation.

mainly because of the conservative judiciary system which is currently under strong international pressure to reform, followed by low expertise and public awareness about the range of legal actions that can be initiated. Cooperation between ECSOs and governmental officials exists to a certain extent but not in a structured manner and it is not supported by any government policy or cooperation model for interaction with ECSOs. However, some new developments within internationally funded projects will support the enhancement of that cooperation, as would the building upon of existing good practices from the local level, which have proved to be more successful. The communication practices of the CSOs with the local community has demonstrated in some cases a good level of partnership and resulted in implementation of joint actions (e.g. with the example of local environmental action plans). In addition there are some good examples of cooperation with business, FYR MACEDONIA especially local ones.

Main findings: Legal and regulatory framework

• The process of registration is simple, straightforward and inexpensive, and CSO status offers significant tax advantages. • There is a high rate of abuse of CSO registration possibilities by for-profit companies, which is not addressed by the authorities. • ECSOs do not take their legal status and legal requirements seriously enough, mainly due to a lack of implementation and enforcement by authorities. • Legal frameworks for information and participation are very good. • Some ECSOs report that authorities engage in favouritism, intimidation and threats vis-à-vis ECSOs, depending on their activities and their level of support for the authorities. • ECSOs tend to focus their involvement at the macro-level, such as law drafting, rather than the micro-level in individual cases.

Main findings: Resource base

• The most important donors are foreign (governmental and foundations), representing the principal financial resources for the environmental movement. However, ECSOs feel that donor priorities often do not match their needs. • The administration of foreign grant projects is felt to be disproportionate to the amounts awarded. European Commission funds are particularly perceived by Montenegrin ECSOs to be difficult to access, being overly complex and with too stringent conditions. • Central and local government funding is available, but is usually of lower magnitude and suf- fers from a lack of sufficient transparency in their administration. • Non-acceptance of operational costs and staff salaries by many donors has put a brake on the organisational development of ECSOs. • Access to donors and information on funding opportunities are more restricted outside the capital and particularly in rural areas. • The Montenegrin environmental ECSOs surveyed exhibit fairly healthy budgets for the region and demonstrate a positive attitude towards their financial situation. • Montenegrin ECSOs are fairly well equipped, but they have low staff capacities (especially in financial management). • Self-financing strategies have not been fully explored by environmental groups. • ECSOs believe that local philanthropy is not developing.

• Concepts of strategic leadership, process management and its tools are generally well

known and used by some ECSOs. MONTENEGRO • Fundraising strategy is considered the most important tool for strategic leadership; however, no organisation surveyed demonstrated a developed strategy. • Governance bodies tend to be weak with little influence in the work of the organisations. • Communication and PR strategies are rarely developed, while many ECSOs perceive the need for better communication with the public and other stakeholders and for building a better image. • Most of the organisations consider their performance as successful; the main obstacles they cite in their work are the government not accepting ECSOs as partners, limited funds, not enough people working in the movement, young people migrating from poorer areas and a lack of expertise. • There is a clear miscommunication and lack of understanding among the ECSOs and other stakeholders as regards ECSOs’ capabilities and their roles. • Donors, government and support organisations’ representatives feel that ECSOs lack vision, transparency, accountability, and are donor driven.

Main findings: Information and knowledge base

• The general availability of official information is inadequate, and that which is available to ECSOs is found to be of problematic quality, out of date, poorly presented and/or unreliable. • It was noted that the distribution of official sustainable development and environment information (both proactive and passive) does not occur in an organised manner, and therefore all surveyed ECSOs requested improvement, including in the handling of information requests. • Almost all ECSOs welcomed improvements in exchanging information with authorities, both physical and virtual, as well as capacity building trainings of governmental institutions, since conflicts arise because they do not know how to work well with ECSOs. • Well over half of ECSOs in Montenegro maintain collections of environmental books,

MONTENEGRO brochures, CD-ROMs and reports. Eighty-three percent consider their organisation’s knowledge capacities/skills on the environmental topics they work on as “adequate.” Nevertheless all welcome additional training to enhance their internal knowledge. • ECSOs tend not to undertake their own data research but largely depend on official information. Half are equipped with database equipment to manage their information, while less than one-third use desktop publishing equipment. • Pamphlets and brochures are the most popularly published forms of information, alongside newspaper/periodical articles.

Main findings: Accountability

• Recently a government strategy was developed for cooperation with ECSOs, but only limited mechanisms for cooperation or cooperative bodies exist between the ECSOs and the governmental authorities (e.g. Council for Sustainable Development). The most common form of consultation is inviting CSO representatives to working groups discussing drafts of laws, plans, programmes, or roundtable meetings, bringing together experts of different departments from ministries or agencies or sectoral ministries, academic experts and ECSOs. Although the relationship is generally good between the environmental and some other ministries and ECSOs, the influence of CSOs is limited in the formulation of governmental policy making. There are, however, some good examples such as when the government changes its position following strong CSO pressure (e.g. Tara River). • NGO-government cooperation still depends to a large extent on personal contacts. Some ministries as well as some local authorities have designated a contact person for CSOs. • There is usually a public call by the government for CSO participation in different working groups, and CSO organisations are nominated and elected by ECSOs. However, there are no rules or requirements regarding the selection and delegation of CSO representatives and selection is often based on personal relations. • ECSOs are not experienced in working with the general public, involving them or mobilising them in the decision-making process. The bigger and more established groups have a better outreach than others and are advocating for more specific causes than before. • There is usually good communication and cooperation between ECSOs and local stakeholders, but it occurs more often within voluntary initiatives, direct actions or smaller scale activities than in the form of more intensive joint activities or projects such as developing LEAPs or taking initiatives to improve the environment, reduce pollution and protect nature. • Cooperation with national/local business is at the initial stage and rather limited. • Although the legal framework is gradually developing and the basic rights for access to information and public participation are provided, practical implementation is still lagging behind. Enforcement and lack of clear rules and procedures remain the key problems. • Despite slight improvements in the implementation of access to information requirements, many authorities still do not respond or fully provide the information either actively or upon request. There is also a lack of capacity to implement the obligations according to requirements. Access to draft laws and pollution information is the most problematic. • The new law on access to information provides opportunities and is used by ECSOs who

MONTENEGRO test the capacity of public institutions on how to comply with this law, but many environmental ECSOs do not yet use these opportunities. • The new EIA law provides a good basis for public participation and the public participation requirements are included in most of the current laws, but it has not yet become general practice. However, public hearings are not always required or if they are required are not fully implemented. New laws were adopted on EIA, SEA and integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC) but they wont be implemented until 2008.

156 NGO DIRECTORY OVERVIEW

Main findings: Accountability (continued)

• There is a new regulation at the local level on green space and this provides for access to information and public participation at the local level on issues regarding green space. Nev- ertheless, this has been implemented in only one municipality so far. • Access to justice rights are provided on access to information and public participation, but obstacles make it difficult to enforce and use these rights for citizens and ECSOs (lack of knowledge about the rights of citizens, how those rights can be exercised, experience in how to file complaints and lack of free-of-charge legal assistance and advice to support the citizens). • ECSOs have the right to file complaints against public authorities but they do not use the opportunities. Legal aid to citizens is not available or it is not focused on environmental rights and is among the barriers to exercising rights to access to justice. MONTENEGRO

CHART 1 Comparison between 2001 and 2006 data When the REC compiled the data survey in Year of establishment for ECSOs in Serbia 2001 it covered Yugoslavia, i.e. Serbia and (number of ECSOs in each category) Montenegro (Kosovo, which was and still is under UN administration, was surveyed sep- 80 arately). We cannot therefore fully compare 67 70 data from 2001 with the survey in 2006. However, given the very small number of 60 ECSOs in Montenegro and their higher num- 50 ber in Serbia, we attempt to refer to the 2001 40 Yugoslavian data where appropriate. 26 30 20 The survey covered 114 ECSOs, 110 of 7 12 which are legally registered and four of 10 which are informal groups.

The ECSOs in Serbia Category 1 – up to 1990 count 35,434 members, 19,922 volunteers Category 2 – 1991-1995 and 198 full- or part-time employees in Category 3 – 1996-2000 2006. There has been some increase in staff Category 4 – 2001-2006 (the combined number of employees for Serbia and Montenegro was 248 in 2006, compared to 200 in 2001). Also the number CHART 2 of volunteers increased significantly from a mere 564 in 2001 for both states to 19,922 Level of working in 2006 in Serbia alone. 100 The estimated total budgets of ECSOs from Yugoslavia were EUR 616,250 in 2001. This 90 96 figure has risen appreciably in the last five 80 years to the present sum of EUR 1,648,000 for Serbia by itself. The estimated average 70 71 annual budget per CSO is EUR 14,456 (com- 60 paring favourably to EUR 4,081 in 2001). However, 28 percent of the organisations 50 % of Total 51 have no budget or have a budget under EUR 40 500 per year, which roughly corresponds to 40 29 percent of Yugoslavian organisations 30 with budgets under EUR 500 in 2001. Only 20 four ECSOs report a budget over EUR 100,000 in Serbia (there are two such organi- 10 sations in Montenegro). However, there was 0 only one such organisation in 2001 in the Local Regional National International entire sample of Yugoslavian organisations.

Main findings: Legal and regulatory framework

• Registration has been relatively simple up to now, but ECSOs are concerned about the effect of the dissolution of the Union of Serbia and Montenegro on their status. • Some benefits are conferred to ECSOs in terms of taxes and other privileges, but newer organisations are treated differently from those established in Yugoslav times. • Technical requirements discourage the use of some mechanisms related to CSO activities (e.g. the requirement that a corporation give a year’s notice before donating money to a CSO discourages giving). • A critical lack of capacity and resources, especially in the countryside, means that public authorities are not well trained and cannot implement the law. SERBIA • The legal framework for information is good. • There are still gaps in the legal framework for participation. • The administration of the law is considered by ECSOs to be rife with corruption of various forms, undermining the CSO community’s confidence in and respect for authority. • Access to justice is not a realistic expectation for ECSOs in Serbia.

Main findings: Resource base

• ECSOs are drawing from a fairly diverse group of financial resources, with no one source dominating the scene. • Donor priorities have a determining effect on the issues covered by ECSOs. Donors appear to be concentrating on fewer and larger projects. Also donors’ conditions are becoming more difficult for ECSOs to comply with (notably EC conditions). • Domestic foundations appear to have less importance financially. • The raising of funds through membership fees usually has limited financial impact. • Funding from local authorities is developing, but at a slow rate. However, some local authorities are politically opposed to civil groups. • Serbian environmental groups exhibit a fairly even range of budget sizes, though two-thirds say they have budgetary difficulties. • Resources and capacities for developing ECSOs’ funding plans and strategies are hard to obtain.

SERBIA • Equipment resources of ECSOs in Serbia are markedly worse than the SEE regional averages. • Adequate staff resources are more difficult to find in rural areas. • There are only limited attempts from business to support ECSOs.

168 NGO DIRECTORY OVERVIEW

Main findings: Human and organisational capacities

• The concept of strategic leadership and its tools are generally well known but not all of them are well used, for example fundraising strategies. • Many ECSOs perceive the need for better cooperation and communication with the government as urgent. • ECSOs state that the media and government in general are exerting negative pressure on them. This has had a detrimental effect on the strength of the CSO movement. • Serbia has the highest number of ECSOs in the SEE region which have not had a training needs assessment. • Serbian ECSOs have one of the lowest averages of paid staff per organisation in the SEE region. However, they have the second highest membership averages. • ECSOs are generally enthusiastic in implementing projects, but there is a danger regarding their ability to implement projects due to the lack of paid staff, an occasional lack of infrastructure, poor access to funds and weak support from the public.

Main findings: Information and knowledge base

• The general availability of official information is inadequate, and that which is available to ECSOs is reported to be of problematic quality (out of date, poorly presented and/or unreliable). • It was noted that despite the use of a variety of mechanisms in use to distribute official sustainable development and environment information (both proactive and passive), it still does not occur in a very systematic manner. Therefore all surveyed ECSOs requested improvement in this area, including the handling of information requests. • Almost all ECSOs welcomed improvements in exchanging information with authorities, both physical and virtual. • Well over half of the ECSOs in Serbia maintain collections of environmental books, brochures, CD-ROMs and reports. Eighty-two percent consider their organisation’s knowledge capacities/skills on the environmental topics they work on as “adequate.” Nevertheless all welcome additional training to enhance their internal knowledge. • Half are equipped with database equipment to manage their information, while less than a quarter use desktop publishing equipment. • Pamphlets and brochures are the most popularly published forms of information, alongside newspaper/periodical articles. E-mail, radio programmes or advertisements and posters/demonstrations are the most popular media used by ECSOs to distribute information. However, ECSOs need to learn more about how to deal with the public, and how to influence decision making and involve and unite the community to be more effective.

NGO DIRECTORY 171 OVERVIEW

Main findings: Accountability

• General government strategy or policy on cooperation with ECSOs is absent, with no extant cooperative bodies. Limited cooperation takes place only through pressure from ECSOs on the government. The existence and outcome of cooperation depends a lot on the good will of authorities. Few good examples of cooperation exist at the national level, but there are more in certain regions and at the local level. • There are no rules or requirements regarding the selection and delegation of CSO representatives to different working groups or expert groups where ECSOs are invited by the government. • ECSOs lack experience in working with the general public, and involving and mobilising them in the decision-making process. The bigger and more established groups have better outreach than others. • Good communication and interaction between ECSOs and local stakeholders usually exists, but it occurs more often within voluntary initiatives, direct actions or smaller scale activities. Cooperation is rare in intensive joint activities and projects such as developing LEAPs or initiatives to improve the environment, reduce pollution or protect nature. The involvement of citizens in these is rather limited, as is their impact. • Cooperation with national/local business is at the initial stage and rather limited. • The legal framework is gradually being brought in line with the Aarhus Convention and EU requirements. The basic rights for access to information and public participation are provided, but practical implementation is lagging. Enforcement and a lack of clear rules and procedures remain the key problems. • Despite slight improvements in the implementation of access to information requirements, many authorities still do not respond or fully provide the information upon request or actively. Access to draft laws, new laws or draft documents on strategic decisions and pollution information is the most problematic. • There are improvements in exercising the rights to access to information and public participation, but there are still many ECSOs that do not know how to properly formulate an information request, how to ask for information correctly, or how to get involved. • Though public participation is becoming a practice, public participation procedures are often not implemented properly (e.g. notification, accessibility of documents, avoidance of application of new procedures, and taking due account of comments). • ECSOs have been more active in participating in strategic decision making on programmes, plans and legislation than in decision making on EIA or SEA, but see their influence on deci- sionmaking as limited. A lack of confidence in authorities and/or a lack of interest/motivation to get involved in decision making is yet another obstacle to exercising rights among the ECSOs and the public. • ECSOs do not use access to justice opportunities because of the lack of an independent judiciary, lack of knowledge about their rights or how those rights can be exercised, lack of free-of- SERBIA charge legal assistance and advice, lack of public advocacy to support citizens in filing complaints when their rights are infringed and lack of funding. A positive development is that a draft law has been proposed and discussed concerning regulating and providing free legal aid.

from the Aarhus Convention. A series of laws have been and are being developed and adopted which establish, implement or improve the application of these rights. These new laws are basically in line with the provisions of the Aarhus Convention and EU directives. However, Serbia has not ratified or acceded to the Aarhus Convention. Plus the institutional background needs to be developed, effective mechanisms need to be put in place, and practices need to be developed or improved to achieve the implementation of the mentioned rights. While there are improvements in the access to information and public participation requirements, the situation regarding access to justice is lagging behind. There are also financial and human resource limitations which are or may be barriers to the effective implementation of the obligations. Currently there are gaps and incompatibilities beween old and recently adopted laws. There is also a deficit of clear rules, practical guidelines and administrative willingness to inform the general public and CSOs and to involve them in the decision-making process in a proper way. Cooperation between governmental bodies and CSOs is mostly insufficient and limited to the invitation of key CSO groups to discussions on draft laws and strategic documents. SERBIA

• The legal framework for registration is good, and administrative practice has improved. • Although operating under the same legal framework, in practice different standards for operations apply to ECSOs in Serbian enclavesthan in the rest of Kosovo. • Legal enforcement and implementation of taxation rules are lax, and ECSOs operate with little attention to legal matters. KOSOVO • Legal frameworks for information, participation and other matters relevant to ECSOs are well developed according to international standards. • Inadequate institutions, the lack of resources, and poor administration contribute to a general lack of implementation of legal frameworks except for the most critical matters affecting the population.

Main findings: Resource base

• Kosovar ECSOs have an understandable over-reliance on funding from foreign sources. • Foreign funding is slowly declining, re-orientating priorities or tightening conditions. • The shift in donor funding priorities has resulted in a subsequent shift in CSO activities. • The government budget is currently too limited to support wide-scale giving, plus the government approach to civil society support is not a high enough priority. • Too many environmental ECSOs use projects to subsidise their members’ primary income (pseudo-consulting). • The budgets of environmental ECSOs in Kosovo have worsened since 2001 (most ECSOs have no budget at all). As such there is a significant split between ECSOs with funds and those with none at all, signifying a funding crisis. A worrying three quarters of ECSOs report that they are in a financially uncertain or poor state. • Kosovar ECSOs appear to have weaker fundraising strategies than in other SEE territories, resulting in ECSOs effectively “dying” between projects and making retention of staff (expertise) a major problem. • Although ECSOs in Kosovo often own their own office space, many struggle from the costs entailed. • Development of organised philanthropy from citizens and business is unlikely in the current social and economic climate.

Main findings: Human and organisational capacities

• ECSOs in Kosovo are underdeveloped and lack experienced staff. • Strategic planning tools and administrative procedures are generally known among ECSOs

but are not used for ensuring effectiveness or efficiency of organisations. KOSOVO • ECSOs have intermediate levels of performance. However, they have a problem developing activities which would better respond to or reflect the needs of the citizens. • ECSOs are often donor driven and do not have the support of the government. • There is not enough institutional support available, especially for the minority Serbian ECSOs.

Main findings: Information and knowledge base

• The absence of any real environmental monitoring system impacts the availability of sustainable development and urban environment information for public consumption. • Official information available to ECSOs is found to be of problematic quality (out of date, poorly presented, unreliable), hindered not least by conflicts of interest and unclear appreci- ation of end-user requirements. • Distribution of official sustainable development and environment information (both proactive and passive) is poor and improvement is requested by ECSOs, including distribution through ECSOs. • Almost all ECSOs welcomed improvements in the exchange of information with authorities, both physical and virtual. • Around half of all ECSOs in Kosovo maintain collections of environmental books, brochures, and reports, and a lesser number of other materials. A large number consider their organisation’s knowledge capacities/skills on the environmental topics they work on as “adequate.” Nevertheless, all welcome additional training to enhance their internal knowledge. • ECSOs tend to do little of their own research unless they have a specifically financed project. Around half are equipped with desktop publishing equipment to manage information, while a third have database tools. • Pamphlets and brochures are the most popularly published forms of information.

Main findings: Accountability

• The Law on Environment Protection and the Environment Impact Assessment Administrative Direction gives a framework to the authorities to work with CSOs. The provisions of these laws require the authorities to invite CSOs to sit on boards, steering committees, advisory and other types of cooperative bodies with the government, but the requirement is not granted by the rules of selection of CSOs to such bodies. Selection is usually based on personal contacts and the level of influence of the representatives of CSOs is difficult to evaluate. • The Ministry for Environment and Spatial Planning has recognised the importance of the cooperation issues but has neither the financial means to support necessary activities nor the capacity and knowledge to do it. However, they are having closer cooperation with a CSO information network (Sharri.Net), • Despite this policy, there is no solid base of cooperation towards ECSOs, and real interaction is rare and based on an ad hoc approach. Existing cooperation has focused on some expert CSO input to official plans and strategies. • More positive examples of cooperation can be found on the local level (the focus appears to be on information and awareness building projects, as well as on clean-up actions). • Although some community driven ECSOs who are interested in listening and representing the local people exist, many of the ECSOs are donor driven and do not adequately represent local opinions or needs. • Limited cooperation has been taking place with the local business. There is no real practice of businesses providing funding or support for ECSO activities. • The legislative framework for access to information and public participation is generally (with few exceptions) in place, but they are not supported by guidelines or more precise procedures. • There is little knowledge or any guidelines on access to information or public participation procedures. ECSOs do not exercise their right to get information and be part of the decision making, plus authorities and ECSOs do not know how to reach out to their target groups or arrange an efficient decision-making process. • Parliamentary commissions are open to the public; ECSOs can use these to comment on legislation and provide input. • The outcome of the public consultations is not usually satisfactory for the public authorities, as ECSOs often do not give the expected level of input to the draft documents. In addition, ECSOs have a tendency to withdraw themselves from the consultation process while recog- nising that the process is going in an unsatisfactory direction. However, some good examples exist where authorities have been running the EIA consultations together with local NGOs or asking for help from CSOs with expertise in a certain area. KOSOVO

recently, and this is coupled to the ECSOs limited knowledge and experience in every aspect of the Aarhus rights. How the authorities handle information requests is not tested by the ECSOs. Information available through the Internet or other means is poor in content and needs improvement in the quality, speed of provision and updating. Public participation requirements are not supported by procedures and guidelines that would define obligations for the authorities and give them tools to bring these into practice. Access to justice rights have not been exercised properly, mainly because of the low expertise and public awareness for the range of legal actions that can be initiated. Cooperation between ECSOs and governmental officials exists to a certain extent, but not yet on a satisfactory level for either party. Unlike in other SEE countries, cooperation is also required by the Law on Environment Protection but is not supported by more specific regulations or sets of rules. Representatives of ECSOs can be selected to take part in many advisory and other consultative boards and committees, but their level of influence is not sufficient. ECSOs’ interaction with local citizens usually takes place in the context of certain environmental occasions (such as Earth Day), public campaigns and other initiatives related to specific projects. ECSOs have not developed mechanisms for understanding public opinion; they are largely donor driven and not community driven. Limited cooperation has been taking place with local business, but it is not common for businesses to provide funding or support CSO activities. KOSOVO
