Sažetak
Since joining the European Union on 1 July 2013, Croatia has access to all available financial instruments provided by Europol to an EU member state.
The aim of this Article is to raise awareness about the possibilities for financing the operational activities through Europol for the purposes of carrying out concrete criminal investigations, and, more generally, for improving the conduct of criminal investigations, primarily in the work of the police, but also in the work of all other law enforcement agencies in the Republic of Croatia (predominantly the State Attorney’s Office and the Customs Administration). This Article provides a first-time systematic description of the documentation and the procedure for preparing documentation, as well as proposals for concrete measures to be taken by the law enforcement agencies in order to be more actively engaged in the process of financing through Europol. Furthermore, the article analyses some new developments in the process of financing Europol activities that might be introduced during or immediately after the Croatian presidency of the EU in the first half of 2020. Finally, the article presents guidelines for improving the usage of available funds and procurement of equipment in order to improve the conduct of criminal investigations.
