INTERNAL SUPERVISION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF AN ASSOCIATION

Abstract

The author, for the first time in our doctrine, analyses the institute of the internal supervision of the activities of an association as defined in the Law on Associations (Official Gazette No. 74/2014, 70/2017, 98/2019). The aim of the paper is to conduct a norm-referenced evaluation of the institute available to the members of the association as subjects most familiar with the activities of the association. The assumptions of the internal supervision are considered as well as questions related to the implementation of the appropriate procedure by means of different interpretation methods. Particular emphasis is placed on those parts of the institute, which must be regulated in accordance with the association’s statute. The analysis also includes the presentation and the actual potential impact of thenjudgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case Lovrić v. Croatia on the future development of case law in the Republic of Croatia. It is expected that judicial review of the activities of the associations will continue to expand. In conclusion, the results of the analysis are summarised.
