We invite associations acting in the area of access to information and transparency to nominate candidates for the members and deputy members of the Open Government Partnership initiative Council.

The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a multilateral initiative in which the Republic of Croatia (RoC) has actively participated from 2012.
