Sažetak
Fight against economic crime as complex and pervasive social phenomenon implies the existence of appropriate institutions of the rule of law, as well as their proper functioning. These institutions, which are numerous and various, act individually or in interaction and in their totality represent a specific institutional framework or system. The institutional framework should be characterized by stability, but also by flexibility, i.e., it needs to correspond with the dynamics and content of socio-economic changes. Formal and content changes of the institutional framework are under jurisdiction of the political authorities, which implement their interventions in the institutional architecture by acts (Croatian Parliament) or by regulations (Government of the Republic of Croatia). In recent period in the Republic of Croatia, the following interventions can be mentioned as the most important interventions in the structure of the institutional framework for combating economic crime: the abolition of the Financial Police (2012), the abolition of the State Inspectorate (2013), the establishment of the Police National Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime (2008) within the Ministry of the Interior and the establishment of the Independent Sector for Tax Fraud Detection (2014) within the Ministry of Finance. Indicated formal changes of the institutional framework's structure with the aim of its strengthening are necessary and justified when they are based on the analysis and strategy, i.e., when they comply with the requirements of the external and internal environment in which institutions operate. Reasons for decision making on the abolition or establishment of the above-mentioned specialized bodies/services should be more clearly elaborated in the professional and general public. From the lack of transparency and argumentation, perception stems that political authorities generally choose imprecise or improvised (ad-hoc) solutions rather than systematic and analytical when it comes to decisions on the establishment or abolition of specialized institutions/ bodies/ services.
