Networks
CEE CN Central Eastern European Citizens Network
The Network aims to promote citizen participation in the Central and Eastern Europe and provide possibilities of learning and sharing the experience and ideas promoted by the citizen`s grass-root initiatives.
The Network`s aim is to ensure the democratic system through citizen participation. The democratic system is stable when there is a strong action and belief in free citizen participation. Both principles are rather new in the Central and Eastern Europe and should be promoted.
