During 2000 OSF - Sofia operated in a stablepolitical environment. The government steadily pur-

sued the path toward European integration andNATO membership and was invited to start negotia-tions for full EU membership. With the end of the

crisis in former Yugoslavia, new opportunitiesemerged for participation in the process of promoting

regional stability and cooperation.

The Foundation continued to develop the essential mechanisms for successfully carrying out a pro-active policy. All programs reassessed their priorities to further strengthen and update them in view of thechanges in the social and political environment.

The Foundation continued to work in its traditional priority areas – democratic society, education,public health, European integration – but the emphasis was put on promoting citizens participation in thedecision-making process, sustaining public debate and upholding the rights of the socially disadvantagedand marginalized groups.

Equal treatment of minorities, and especially of the Roma minority, remained on top of theFoundation’s agenda. A special center was set up in Pazardjik, one of the most densely Roma-populatedareas, to provide support and serve as a mediator between Roma and the local administration. There areten such centers across the country but this one was most successful in becoming a true community center.It has earned good reputation among the local Roma community and, in the same time, built up successfulpartnership with the local administration. A team of trained experts at the Center provide consultationservices in education, health, youth activities, and employment. The Center also offers computer courses,free English language courses, preschool education for Roma children. Its major aim is to facilitate thesocial adaptation of Roma and make them more competitive on the labor market. The Center collaboratessuccessfully not only with the local administration but with many local NGOs as well.

The Roma Program continued promoting Roma culture. It sponsored a three-day National Festivalfor Roma Music and Songs, financed a nationwide tour of a play, “Roma Story,” in the areas with mixedpopulation, published a children’s book with Roma fairy tales.

With the support of the COLPI Program a Center for Consumers’ Protection was set up to upholdcitizens’ rights. The Center was nominated to participate in the National Council for Consumers’ Protectionand will be given the right to initiate its own proposals for introducing changes in the consumers’ rightsprotection legislation.

The Foundation supported a project for establishing effective mechanisms for citizens’ control overthe state and local administration. The Bulgarian Civil Society and Legal Initiatives Association establisheda center for collecting citizens’ claims against administrative acts and bringing such cases to court. TheAssociation trains law school graduates in administrative law, analyzes normative documents and makesrecommendations to the relevant ministries and administrative bodies. The Center made more than 30proposals for changes in legislative documents and filed approximately ten lawsuits before the SupremeAdministrative Court. One of the most discussed reforms was the one guaranteeing personal informationprotection of prisoners’ mail.

OSF – Sofia sustained its previous efforts for training local administration. It supported a project of theCenter for Institutional Studies for the development of a comprehensive long-term program for staff trainingand qualification on five topics: local governance, local finance administration, civil society partnership, localeconomic development , and project designing and fund-raising. This was a five-week course held near Sofiawith the participation of 30 Bulgarian mayors.

A team of experts was formed under the Local Government Reform Program to provide qualitytraining for developing and managing projects financed by the EU structural funds, which are about to beopen for Bulgaria. Successful project implementation largely depends on a thorough understanding of theEU common policies and the ability to link them to regional and local strategic planning. The expertsdeveloped a comprehensive three-month training program for 15 trainers in regional policy and humanresource development, EU employment policy, EU structural policy and structural funds, and EU socialfunds. Those trainers are committed to carry out similar courses for local administration throughout thecountry.

European integration remained high on the Foundation’s agenda. But it was understood that thisprocess still lies ahead and will bring about many problems due to widespread ignorance as to its socialcosts and side effects. OSF – Sofia supported information campaigns through 22 radio stations nationwidefor carrying out public debates and raising citizens’ awareness as to how this process will affect everysphere of public life. An information network was set up designed to provide information for regionalmedia on European integration issues with the participation of leading analysts and representatives ofgovernment institutions.

A special discussion forum was initiated to analyze the situation on national and regional level. Itwill identify problem areas in the context of the ongoing negotiations for accession, and areas for projectdevelopment.

Even before the recent elections in Yugoslavia that forced Slobodan Milosevic to step down, OSF –Sofia worked toward promoting Balkan stability through strengthening cooperation and partnership amongregional NGOs. The Foundation sponsored a conference “Toward a Peaceful Transition in Yugoslavia” thatbrought together organizations from Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia for exchanging ideasand good practices on peaceful transition toward democracy.

During 2000 a project for introducing European integration as a compulsory subject in high schoolscurriculum was successfully launched. A comprehensive program has been also developed to integrateEuropean problematic in traditional subjects – history, philosophy, geography, and literature. The projectgained the support not only from relevant ministries and parliamentary committees. Regional inspectoratesand municipal departments of education became active participants. Such an attempt to reorganize educa-tional content and make it consistent with contemporary requirements seems to be unique not only forBulgaria, but for the region as well.

Under the Public Health Program a comprehensive strategy for addressing ethnically specific dis-eases has been developed including concrete steps for preventive medical treatment sensitive to minorities’cultural and religious characteristics.

Bulgarian cities are still not easily accessible for the disabled. OSF – Sofia supported projects tar-geted to meet their needs. The projects aimed at gathering institutional support, raising public awarenessand encouraging architects and engineers to comply with internationally recognized standards assuringthe disabled an easier access to the urban environment.

Together with the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, the Foundation set up a working group ofrepresentatives of more than thirty NGOs. The group developed a draft law for gender equality, includingmechanisms for guaranteeing equal opportunities for men and women and their equal access to all politi-cal, economic and societal spheres. This is a unique attempt given the fact that the whole gender problem-atic is still not popular in Bulgaria and the magnitude of the work that remains to be done in this field hasonly started getting recognition.
