Summary/Abstract: Proactive transparency is still a novel concept in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian civil service, and only a few institutions have started to implement it. Research shows that a substantial number of institutions do not publish even the basic information on management, structure, scope of authority, budget and programmes. Poor transparency results are contingent on numerous factors such as an outdated and fragmented legislative framework, underdeveloped administrative culture in the institutions, conservative interpretation of the regulations, and civil servants’ low level of knowledge of the basic principles of proactive transparency.
