Abstract

The State Attorney's Office is the judicial authority that ex lege - represents the Republic of Croatia and other entities (the Government, its bodies and administrative organs with legal personality) before courts of justice and administrative authorities; ex mandato - on the basis of a power of attorney it represents entities before administrative bodies. The Office also represents the Republic of Croatia before foreign and international courts, such as the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. Within the national judicial system the Office strives for the realisation of goals in the field of justice, i.e., the effective, peaceful and civilised settlement of disputes in society. It also acts as counsel to the entities it represents. The Office may additionally perform tasks defined in other acts (such as negotiating settlements concerning refunds due from investments in the public telecommunications network). It also conducts preliminary proceedings. Resources for its operation are provided by the budget of the Republic of Croatia.
