Abstract
In the introduction the author describes the organization of local and regional governments in the Republic of Croatia, defines official duty of officers and employees in local and regional government, as well as responsibility for its violation, and presents preconditions for this type of legal responsibility. The authors indicate that the rules of responsibility for officers are adequately applied for employees. In the central part of the paper, the author gives normative regulation of responsibility for violation of official duty de lege lata and de lege ferenda. For certain institutes the authors give opinions of legal theory, court decisions, as well as statistical data on responsibility for violation of official duty of the said officers and employees. It is concluded that the system of responsibility for violations of official duty is regulated in a clear and comprehensive way, and improvements are possible using proposals presented in the paper, for which the author uses solutions contained in the comparative legislation.
