Key findings:

Despite successful partnership practices and the use of modern participation tools, the overall system remains fragmented and largely depends on the personal initiative of the leadership of the governmental body. Key problems include the lack of systematic communication planning, a low level of feedback following consultations, and a lack of unified, legally established procedures for involving citizens in managerial decision-making
