Sažetak
The aim of the pension reform that introduced tripartite public-private pension system was to establish a long-term sustainable system in which the responsibility for social security in old age would be moved from the state to the individual. So far rights are realised only in the first pillar – the pension insurance based on intergenerational solidarity, for which the conditions, scope and procedure of the realisation of rights are prescribed by the law, and which is conducted by the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute. When settling the rights related to pension insurance the principles of the administrative procedure are used – legality, protection of the rights of citizens and protection of public interest, material facts, hearing the parties etc. In the procedure of the realisation of pension insurance rights through the application of international social insurance agreements, stipulations of international agreements are applied. The Institute carries out a procedure of deciding about the rights in two instances, and the judicial protection is regulated by the Administrative Litigation Act. Apart from using legal remedies (appeals, lawsuits, objections), insured persons and pension users can submit petitions and file complaints, thus warning about omissions, mistakes, incorrectness, violations of constitutional rights and similar things in the Institute operation. The Institute’s organisation enables availability to realise the rights, and special attention is given to informing the users, in the Institute and in the institutions that implement the second and third part of the pensions insurance. Although there is some dissatisfaction with the level of rights resulting from the pension insurance, Croatia fulfils the Council of Europe and ILO standards of minimum provisions for the old age, disability and death risks.
