2025 POLICY ISSUES

1. Civil Procedure Act (CPA)

• The Civil Procedure Act is important for commercial and labor disputes. Currently, proceedings under the Act are lengthy and inefficient. Potential advantages of introducing clearer guidelines and obligations, such as timelines, to enhance the efficiency and predictability of proceedings under the Act should be explored.

2. Recommendations for judiciary improvement

• Judiciary, quality of legislation and lengthy procedures are highlighted in AmCham’s business environment survey as a major issue for doing business in Croatia. Position paper on Recommendations for Judiciary Improvement will provide recommendations for improvements of the overall judiciary in Croatia.

Among them the Committee will follow and act if needed: Act Establishing a European Framework for Digital Identity and Trust Services, Act on Salaries and Other Material Rights of Judicial Officials, Act on Amendments to the Act on Peaceful Dispute Resolution, Act on Amendments to the Act on Courts.
