Sažetak
The Croatian DNA database was legally formed at the beginning of the 2000s with new Police regulation. Firstly, it contains DNA profiles of persons in general and crime stains/unknown persons stored in home-made database. In 2006 database migrated to CODIS (FBI) platform, where DNA profiles of known persons were distinguished into suspects, victims, and laboratory staff. With the new system, DNA profiles originated from unknown persons also distinguished into DNA profiles originated from crime scene/stains and those originated from unidentified bodies/persons. Since the migration to CODIS, the Croatian DNA database recorded more than 2.500 matches of unsolved crime stains with suspect DNA profiles. With new regulation that came to force in late 2011 storing DNA profiles into the database, the time of retention and deletion especially DNA profiles from individuals involved in crime act was regulated more precisely. In 2018, because of Croatia’s obligation to EU directives, DNA profiles were made available to EU member states through so-called Prüm decisions that enabled 400 unsolved domestic crimes to be linked to known persons. Before the start of automated exchanging DNA profiles and data, the DNA database and all stored profiles were thoroughly revised in which DNA profiles of suspects were differentiated into Suspects (general name for suspects, arrestees, and offenders not yet convicted) and Convicted Offenders according to revised legal acts. DNA profiles of crime stains also were revised in accordance with a number of loci and statistical significance. Today Croatian DNA database counts approximately 15.000 DNA profiles of which 11.000 are daily exchanging with other EU member states.
