Through a variety of programs, the Centre for Peace, Nonviolence and Human Rights Osijek has promoted nonviolence, tolerance, and citizen participation in the democratic process and community life since the beginning of the war in Croatia in 1992. The centre is recognized as one of the leading institutions for this work in Croatia and in the region, with ties to similar groups in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, Albania, and Macedonia.
