In his key-note speech at the start of a two-day seminar of state
prosecutors in the coastal resort of Lovran, Bajic said on
Wednesday that a number of unsolved cases had been reduced.
He said there were some 23,000 unsolved cases in late 2001 and the
number of pending cases fell to 17,500 at the end of 2002.
He voiced satisfaction with cooperation between the state
prosecution, police and other state institutions over the past year
and a half.
Bajic said that relevant bodies had started monitoring the
performance and efficiency of state prosecutors. Slovene
colleagues are offering help in this context, given that Slovene
prosecutors improved their efficiency by 100 percent after
introducing this kind of supervision in their country.
Bajic recommended that Croatian prosecutors try to settle as many
cases as possible out of court, especially in civil suits.
The Lovran event has pooled about a hundred state prosecutors from
Croatia and legal experts from Zagreb Law School and from the
Netherlands and the United States.
