Prijedlog izmjena Zakona o javnoj nabavi – dosta dobrog ali (neki) veliki problemi ostaju

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,…

Open access paper – ‘Exclusion of third-country economic operators from EU public procurement and the Kolin judgment – new rules and lingering questions’

A big thank you to Thomson Reuters and Public Procurement Law Review for allowing me to publish this paper on my blog!

Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi – Reimbursement of Lawyer Fees in Croatian Public Procurement Remedies

Lawyer fees in Croatian public procurement remedies have been a point of contention for a long time. The issue mainly arises from Article 3(3) of the State Commission Act, which stipulates that the State Commission (State Commission for Supervision of Public Procurement Procedures – Croatian PP Appeal Body DKOM) decides on the reimbursement of the…

‘Public Procurement – A New Way Forward’

What works, what doesn’t? What goals were achieved, where do we still have room for improvement? These are the questions on the minds of public procurement scholars and practitioners, politicians and policy-makers. Some of these questions were answered by the European Court of Auditors, Letta and Draghi reports, but some of them remain unanswered –…

The future revision of the Remedies Directive should address appeal fees

The revision of the 2014 public procurement Directives is underway, and it seems it is going to substantively change the way we procure, but also what and from whom we can procure. But it was surprising to see that it was decided to exclude the Remedies Directive from this round of revisions. Fortunately, this does…

Bojana Todorović i Roberto Caranta, ‘Europeanisation of Access to Justice in Environmental Matters’

Pristup pravosuđu u pitanjima okoliša, kao jedan od tri stupa Aarhuške konvencije, ključan je za održivi razvoj i borbu protiv klimatskih promjena. Konvencija osigurava pravo na pristup informacijama, sudjelovanje javnosti u donošenju odluka i pristup pravosuđu, čime jača transparentnost i odgovornost institucija te demokratizaciju društva. U jugoistočnoj Europi implementacija Aarhuške konvencije donijela je napredak u…
