Abstract

Rad govori o sukobu interesa koji uključuje sukob između javne dužnosti i privatnih interesa javnog dužnosnika, pri čemu javni dužnosnik ima privatne interese koji bi mogli neprimjereno utjecati na izvršavanje njegovih službenih dužnosti i odgovornosti. U skladu s time moguće je razlikovati stvarni, prividni i potencijalni ili novčani i nenovčani sukob interesa. Radi bolje prevencije i jačanja institucionalnog okvira za sprječavanje sukoba interesa u Hrvatskoj je donesen Zakon o sprječavanju sukoba interesa, a za provedbu Zakona osnovano je Povjerenstvo za odlučivanje o sukobu interesa. U slučaju kršenja odredbi Zakona, Povjerenstvo može izreći javnom dužnosniku novčanu kaznu, opomenu i javnu objavu odluke Povjerenstva o trošku dužnosnika. U radu je naglasak na institucionalnom okviru za upravljanje sukobom interesa i mjere koje nadležna tijela mogu primijeniti kada nastupi sukob interesa.

Abstract (english)

This paper is about the conflict of interest involving a conflict between public officials personal interests and their duty as a civil servant, in which the public official has private interests which could improperly influence the performance of his official duties and responsibilities. Consequently, it is possible to distinguish between the actual, apparent and potential or financial and non-financial conflict of interest. For better prevention and to strengthen the institutional framework for the prevention of conflict of interest Croatia adopted the Act on Preventing Conflict of Interest and for it's implementation Commision was established. In case of violation of the provisions of the Act, the Commission may impose a public official money penalty, a worning or a public announcement of the Commissions decision on the cost of officials. The paper focuses on the institutional framework for managing conflict of interest and the measures that the competent authorities can apply at the occurrence of a conflict of interest.
