Summary/Abstract: This document is intended for organizations that operate under the umbrella of the term "civil society", where there is an interest in being included in the dialogue on the reform of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, the goal of this document is to offer a vision of the role of civil society in the reform of the constitution, to determine the basic guidelines for the active engagement of non-governmental organizations and to point out the necessity of recognizing and accepting one's own strengths and weaknesses. One of his basic recommendations is precisely that each individual non-governmental organization should recognize its interest and role in constitutional reform, formulate its own goals, messages and mechanisms and act in that direction. It would be idealistic to expect that the political elites, who until now have appropriated the discussion on the reform of the constitution, will themselves see the advantages of including civil society in that process. Therefore, this analysis highlights the need to create a more positive environment for partnership and dialogue between civil society and political elites, as well as the media.
