Croatia : topical issues in the current competition law

This paper discusses current developments in competition law in Croatia by reviewing some of the most relevant issues in these unprecedented times. One of them concerns the recent decisions of the Croatian Constitutional Court by which several judgments of the Administrative Court were quashed. Such decisions raise important questions concerning cartels, relationship between the Constitutional Court and the lower courts, as well as possible responsibility of the Member State for not enforcing EU competition law as a result. The second issue concerns the possibility of achieving actual rather than purely utopian independence of the Competition Agency. Finally, the paper analyses the Decision on Price Control Measures as an act that bypasses well-known instruments of competition law, all in the course of the global pandemic.
