Bajic described last year's results as positive, but voiced dissatisfaction with the failure to solve some more serious cases, such as murders from previous years.
The prosecution and the police must tackle more serious cases of corruption and organised and white-collar crime, this year's priority being the strengthening of the Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organised Crime (USKOK), he said.
In 2006 the Office of the Chief State Prosecutor will focus on the protection of state property and continue investigations into war crimes, both those committed by Croatian soldiers and Serb aggressors, he said.
The Office will cooperate with the police and the intelligence community and prosecution teams from neighbouring countries in order to shed light on crimes committed in the areas of Osijek, Vukovar, Zadar and Sibenik. An agreement should be signed soon giving Croatian prosecutors access to the Hague tribunal's archives, Bajic said.
Crimes against life and physical integrity, human and civil freedoms and rights, and sexual freedom and morality are declining, as is drug abuse, but domestic violence is on the rise, the chief prosecutor said.
The prosecution and the police are more efficient in fighting economic crime than is perceived by the public, Bajic said.
The chief state prosecutor said he was satisfied with the fact that 65 percent of persons indicted for economic crime had been convicted, but that he was dissatisfied with the duration of the sentences.
He voiced satisfaction with the efficiency in dealing with police reports. Last year offices of local prosecutors worked on 64,520 cases, of which 51,403 were solved, 12,985 are being dealt with by other state bodies, and 132 cases remain unsolved.
Bajic said he was particularly satisfied with the performance of his prosecutors before courts because 87.8 percent of cases had resulted in a sentencing verdict, but he admitted that a large number of more complex cases had not made it yet to the court.
The Office of the Chief State Prosecutor is satisfied because the number of people sentenced to prison increased last year, rising from 12.8 percent in 2004 to 14.2 percent.
The Office registered a significant drop in litigation, particularly in labour disputes which the state mostly loses, Bajic said.
The value of last year's cases conducted on behalf of the state by the Office of the Chief State Prosecutor was 13.3 billion kuna, around one billion less than the year before, Bajic said.
