EU network
against corruption meets in Zagreb to discuss conflict of interest in
corruption prevention and repression
![]()
On the 21st of November 2023, the first national meeting in Croatia under the newly created EU network against corruption took place at the House of Europe in Zagreb to discuss the Croatian anti-corruption framework with a focus on conflict of interest in corruption prevention and repression.
As part of the EU network against corruption the Commission hosts national meetings to provide an opportunity for EU Member States' anti-corruption stakeholders to engage in dialogue and raise awareness on anti-corruption issues. The EU network against corruption was set up to bring together national authorities, practitioners, civil society, international organisations, EU agencies and relevant services of the European Commission.
The meeting in Zagreb focussed on the key challenges of the Croatian anti-corruption framework with a focus on conflict of interest covering both prevention and repression.
This event aimed to facilitate dialogue among national stakeholders from Croatia. The workshop brought together representatives from key national institutions, prosecutors, judges, civil society, and the academic community. Participants identified challenges such as lengthy criminal proceedings, and insufficient capacities in corruption prevention institutions.
The workshop also presented proposals for strengthening the fight against corruption, with concrete activities that appointed stakeholders need to implement. Proposed solutions included making anti-corruption work more appealing, enhancing the legal framework’s effectiveness, promoting public awareness of personal integrity, and encouraging reporting of corruption. Many of these activities are also included in the proposal for EU anti-corruption legislation presented by the European Commission in May 2023.
As in other EU member states, the European Commission will continue to monitor positive and negative trends related to the fight against corruption in Croatia through the EU's annual rule of law report, last adopted in July 2023.
