Summary/Abstract: The subject of this theoretical-empirical work are opposition parties in the role of policy entrepreneurs. Presented in the first part is the theoretical framework for creating public policies. The continuation is based on the actors themselves in public policyprocesses and their influence on the creation of the agenda. The research part of the paper is based on the content analysis method. The distinction between the two approaches of the opposition parties are the main determinants of the work. Through newspaper articles from different websites, examples of opposition activity by the SDP as offensive and HNS as yielding opposition were analyzed. The goal is to show the limitations and possibilities of their influence on formal decision-making.
