Abstract
Participation of citizens in local public affairs is of critical importance for the quality of democracy at local level. The article makes a comparison between Croatia and Serbia regarding the use of instruments of participation in local public action. Two countries under comparison have some differences in spite of the fact that both of them were part of the former Yugoslavia. The authors show that developments in Croatia and Serbia are quite similar and rather low despite the formal differences between the two countries. The article addresses and explains the factors that support the main hypothesis of the paper and propose direction of change.
