Summary/Abstract: Generally speaking, civil society in the Balkans was and still is facing a number of phenomena, some of which positively affect its strengthening, while the other affect it in a way that borders with antagonizing space and people who are civil society's target groups. In this type of situation it is logical to focus the greatest attention on a removal of existing prejudices towards the very nature of civil sector in its entire institutional and personal capacity. Most common form of civil society's intercultural activity actually takes the form of a struggle for recognition, respect and protection of human rights as the subtlest part of social relations. This takes place even when such activity has no direct characteristic of a struggle for human rights, but can be derived from the nature of the activity and its goal, where the concept of understanding for the natural and law protected social necessities of every man individually as well as the community is evident. Naturally, assuming that such goals and requirements can be recognized in a social structure; in other words, it needs to be made sure that they are not selectively designed and employed.
