I do not only use the brain that I have, but all I can borrow (Woodrow Willson). Inclusive government/cooperation with civil sector calls upon democratically aware partners, active citizens and expert civil society (NGO’s).
Promotion of civil dialogue • Public Information Act – access to information of public nature, publicity and openness of public bodies. • Rules of procedure of the Government (Article 8a) – defines civil society cooperation in the process of legislation preparation.
Government Rules of Procedure - Statement on RAB and PIP - Rules of procedure of the Government of the RS Statement on Reduction of Administrative Burdens and Participation of the Interested Publics Methodology for the Compliance and Monitoring of the Statement on RAB and PIP

Measures taken to promote Civil Dialoge • e-Democracy - participation of interested public at the earliest stages of policy process; • Legislative proposals are published on the web at very early stages. http://e-uprava.gov.si/e-uprava/edemokracija.euprava
Measures taken to promote Civil Dialoge • 2007 - an initiative of the Ministry for Public Administration - a call to civil society organisations to indicate their interest in governments act preparation (basis: Governmental Programme for 2007); • 2008 – Handbook on Planning, managing and evaluating public participation processes – handook for public officials • (2007-2013) ESF – priority axes: “Promotion of NGO development, Civil and Social dialogue”.
