Summary of the project implemented by Tačno.net
The National Assembly of Republika Srpska adopted the Draft Law on the Special Register and Publicity of the Work of Non-Profit Organizations on September 28, popularly known as the “foreign agents” law. The focus of this project is to engage the public to prevent the adoption of this law and, perhaps more importantly, to prevent such legislation from being considered in other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This law is in absolute dissonance with EU directives, and its adoption would greatly impede our path towards the EU. We have optimized a set of activities to act swiftly in the period leading up to the potential adoption of the law.
Project goals
The main goal of this intervention is to demystify the Draft Law on the Special Register and Publicity of the Work of Non-Profit Organizations, commonly known as the “foreign agents” law, and to exert pressure on political representatives to make amendments that would make the law acceptable to the general public.
