Summary/Abstract: The analysis that follows shows how the five state institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) have managed to develop proactive transparency, despite the lack of uniform legislation and an organized systemic approach to this issue. In addition to international standards and comparative practices in this area, as well as the legal framework governing proactive publishing in BiH, most of the analysis is based on interviews with representatives of five institutions identified by the Center for Social Research Analytics conducted in mid-2014. as the most successful examples of proactive transparency. The institutions with the highest degree of proactive transparency are: the BiH Parliamentary Assembly, the BiH Civil Service Agency, the BiH Ministry of Finance and Treasury, the BiH Agency for Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance, and the BiH Agency for Identification Documents, Records and Data Exchange (IDDEEA) . Semi-structured interviews were conducted with representatives of these five public bodies in December 2014, on the basis of which the central part of this analysis was prepared.
