Sažetak
Croatia acceded to the EU in mid-2013. Although there were Operational Programs (OPs) set up for the first programming period (under the n+3 rule), such as the OP Regional Competitiveness for Croatia (2007–2013), they did not cover any justice-related activities. The justice system was supported under the pre-accession funds, which are outside of the scope of this study. During the current programming period (2014– 2020), the needs of the Croatian justice system are outlined in all Country Specific Recommendations (CSRs) and the Partnership Agreement and focus mainly on improving the efficiency and transparency of the judiciary and reducing case backlogs, by making use of electronic and online tools and alternative dispute resolution methods. Two OPs program for justice system support during this period: the OP Efficient Human Resources funded by the ESF (OP EHR), and OP Competitiveness and Cohesion funded through the EDRF (OP CC). The OP EHR focuses on improving the efficiency of the justice system in order to reduce the caseload (even though it does not specify how this will be done), as well as on training for judicial staff (though no further detail is available about which type of staff is meant). The OP CC plans to expand the broadband network to provide more e-services to the citizens, including e-justice.
