Centre for Development of Non-Profit Sector (CRNPS) works as a “support centre” for non-governmental organizations that need assistance, but doesn’t arbitrate the relationships between organizations or dictate their activities. Its services are free of charge for all voluntary, non-profit organizations, while the Centre refrains from interference in programming and management structure of other organizations.

The Centre for Development of Non-Profit Sector is active in implementation of complex projects for strengthening of civil society in Serbia, from public awareness raising, education and information on the importance and the role of the third sector, to legal representation of the NGO sector. The main activities are implemented through several programmes.

SINCE the initial work on collection of basic data on non-governmental organizations in Serbia and Montenegro, through becoming one of the key actors of the pro-election campaign during the fight against the former, undemocratic regime, CRNPS grew into the ranks of leading NGOs in Serbia...

Serbia still lacks new, contemporary legislation on non-governmental organizations. Veliborka Staletovic discussed the situation in the NGO sector in Serbia with Zivka Vasilevska, Director of the Centre for Development of Non-Profit Sector (CRNPS).
