The Open Government Partnership is a multilateral global initiative launched in 2011 to support the participating countries committed to making their governments more open, transparent, accountable and responsive to citizens. The Republic of Serbia joined the initiative in 2012 and has implemented two Action Plans since then, while the third Action Plan, which is the object of the current consultation process, is due for adoption by the end of the current year.
For more information on implementation of the Open Government Partnership in the Republic of Serbia and the current Action Plan drafting process, please refer to the website of the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government, which coordinates participation in this initiative.
