This paper focuses on the role of Europol in the implementation of
the EPPO Regulation and analyses the potential challenges for law

within Europol are presented. Part of the paper focuses on explaining
the legal background of the work of the EPPO and its relation to
Europol and Croatia. It then explains the challenges and opportunities
for Europol after the EPPO becomes fully operational, including
Europol analytical capacities, the possibilities for information
exchange (SIENA), and Europol innovation capacities. In conclusion,
the paper analyses concrete challenges and offers solutions for different
problems that may arise in future relations between Europol and
the EPPO. An outline is also given of the priorities of the Presidency of
Croatia of the Council of the European Union in the first half of 2020
related to financial investigation.
