Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to show the forms of lobbying utilized by interest groups in the times of COVID-19 (ex-ante, ongoing, ex-post). A comparative approach was adopted to the forms of influence used in the pre-COVID and post-COVID times. In addition, the article discusses the articulated forms of influence and verifies the impact evolving from the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic used by interest groups towards public administration. The analysis was carried out aimed at a predictive look at the forms of influence used in relation to the current postpandemic situation, which are used by interest groups in lobbying campaigns in relations with decision-makers in public administration. In addition to the theoretical dimensions, practical insight are also offered into the functioning of interest groups through the presented sets of tools for lobbying campaign and exerting influence on public authorities.
