This report is based on the surveys of public opinion carried out by the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) in the year 2007 and 2008.
The surveys were supported by the Open Society Institute Human Rights and Governance Grants Programme, with the aim to study the opinion of the population on Government policies targeted at poverty alleviation, social security, health, education, combating corruption, human rights protection, media freedom and improvement of infrastructure.
In addition, the study focussed on participation of citizens in decision making, assessment of trust towards various institutions and attitudes towards political entities. The main expectations of the population, as well as their values, perception of the political situation in the country and its external orientations, and attitudes towards democracy were also assessed.
Similar surveys were carried out by IPS in 2002, 2003, and 2006.
