The article aims to present the attitude of state‘s institutions that have features of national human rights institutions (the Ombudsman for Equal Opportunities, the Ombudsman for Children Rights, the Seimas Ombudsmen, the Inspector of Journalist Ethics and the State Data Protection Inspectorate) toward their cooperation with human rights NGOs. As shown the analysis based on primary sources and structural interview, the state‘s institution‘s attitude on their cooperation with human rights NGOs is not integral one and closely related with specialization of institution, i.e. in assessing the intensity of cooperation the area of human rights where the state institution and human rights NGOs operate is crucial. In the context of cooperation the status of human rights NGOs is of great importance as well: state‘s institutions are eager to cooperate with active, reliable, permanently working NGOs, rather than the „paper one“, unreliable, destructive their counterparts. In summarizing, the state‘s institutions attitude on their cooperation with human rights NGOs could be described in using several pairs of adjectives: sufficient versus insufficient; continual versus epizodical one; initiated by both sides versus NGOs initiators and broad versus narrow spectrum of cooperation with human rights NGOs.
