Different CSOs, which aim to undertake social responsibilities, voluntarily contribute to social peace between state and civil society in their countries and also play very important roles in building cooperation among countries, improving dialogue and tolerance among different cultures. Number of CSOs in the Balkan region increased especially after collapse of the socialist regimes and the end of Cold War. These organizations are assuming very important roles in development process of the Balkan countries and building democracy and peace in the region.
