Karlovac, 3rd February 2015 - "Judicial reform is a key factor in the development of more righteous society, and for more efficient justice system reorganization is necessary", noted at a press conference CPP's MP and member of the Parliamentary Committee on Justice Vesna Sabolić.
"We have a situation that some judges have two hundred and some thousand cases, and they all work for the same pay. Of course then there is this stretching, time-consuming procedures, and the verdicts are unclear", added Sabolić.
One of the main reasons for dissatisfaction with the state of the judiciary in Croatia is a different interpretation. We have a lot of verdicts that are pulled down on a higher instance. "The fact is that we have a huge number of appeals to the European Court of Human Rights. So far we have paid somewhere around 88 million kuna to the citizens for lengthy court proceedings, which is a huge amount of money. Furthermore, it is impossible to measure how much damage brings slow judiciary to the citizens", continues Sabolić.
Such inefficient judiciary is a major problem for entrepreneurs. Lengthy procedures, the slowness in solving procedures are major spoilers in attracting investment and creating added value. Judicial reform is essential to build a more modern, more democratic society to which we all aspire.
"We in the CPP's KarlovaÄka county organization want to open this issue in our community. Citizens have many problems and can talk to us for help and advice", noted Dean ŽabÄić, president of CPP's KarlovaÄka county organization.
"The process is long, but I think the basic assumptions are created that the judicial system and the judiciary should start functioning in the interests of citizens. The key question that reform must resolve is that we're all equal before the law", concluded Sabolić.
CPP's parliamentarian and member of the Parliamentary Committee on Justice Vesna Sabolić held a public tribune "CPP's efforts to reform the judiciary" within the second department of CPP's Political Academy for advanced education in general policy.
