The Open Society Institute (OSI) is a coordinating body, started in early 1994, of the national Soros Foundations, especially in Eastern Europe, which spends money donated by billionaire philanthropist George Soros.

Open Society Institutes were forcibly shut down by the governments of Croatia (at one point, not at this time), Belarus and Yugoslavia, and singled out by former Slovakia Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar.
