Jučer je Ministarstvo gospodarstva (MINGO) u javno savjetovanje pustilo prijedlog novih izmjena Zakona o javnoj nabavi (ZJN), prvi od nesretnih izmjena s kraja 2022. Pohvalno je da javno savjetovanje traje 30 dana, a dostupno je ovdje. Na prvih nekoliko čitanja, ne mogu se oteti dojmu kako se moglo više. Iako se predložene izmjene čine opsežnima,…
