Provisions on citizens’ initiative are rather common in Venice Commission and OSCE member States, although the practice is limited due to its high costs, other easily achievable means to propose draft laws and its non-inclusiveness as the peoples’ initiative is not intended to find a wide compromise in the society. It is common in European countries for the voters to have access to members of parliament to point out problems in legislation and propose draft legislation. As all the members of parliament have the right to present draft laws, providing a speedy means to have access to parliament’s attention and discuss all main issues of importance, even the small interest groups in the society are in principle in a position to find some support in the parliament. Thus, the citizens’ initiative – which exists in a number of European countries - could rather be aimed at putting the proposals by interest groups on the public place and providing a forum for free speech and inclusiveness. The principle of parliamentary democracy, which values communication between all interest groups, and the search for a consensus, may also lead to a low level of use of the citizens’ initiative.
