Sažetak
The accession of the Croatia to the European Union marked the beginning of a new period in the work and activities of the Road Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure. A large number of regulations and directives of the European Commission and Parliament, and the new internal legislation of the Republic of Croatian which thus entered into force, set new challenges for all inspection officers: before the leadership, in terms of staff training and the expert public, participation in public debates and expert meetings and cooperation with other competent authorities; before inspectors, in terms of acquiring and implementing new knowledge and skills; and in terms of the implementation of new monitoring procedures. The paper explores and describes the experience in this regard to date. The authors present an outline of the activities carried out within Roadside Inspections twinning projects, membership in ECR and CORTE, activities in terms of the educational and repressive role of the inspection within the transport industry, but also the problems faced by road transport inspectors in Croatia, encountered in achieving its task. The paper also provides a comparison of experiences and the Inspection of Road Transport of the Republic of Croatia and the neighbouring EU countries (Slovenia, Hungary) in the process of adjustment to EU standards in the implementation of monitoring road transport services. The entire research is based on the current road-transport legal regulation that applies primarily to the so-called social legislation in road transport, and in legislation regulating road transport of goods and passengers.
