Republika Srpska Parliament adopts draft Law on Volunteering

Another step to improve the nonprofit sector.

In its 20th Session of May 9, 2008, the National Parliament of the Republic of Srpska adopted the Draft-Law on Volunteering. The Draft will not be submitted for public debate, and the final Draft should be adopted in September or October this year. The Youth Cultural Centre (OKC) Banja Luka says that the Draft is another step forward for the non-governmental sector in which volunteers and volunteering play the crucial role.

"We hope that this will also lead to adoption of similar legislation in the BiH Federation, but also on national level", comments OKC Banja Luka.
