So far, the court has ruled against Croatia in seven cases,
Wildhaber said.
The main objections to the Croatian judiciary, he said, referred to
extremely long trials and poor court accessibility.
Violations of the right to accessibility are very common in
Croatia, he said.
Minister Picula said that Croatia urgently needed a reform of the
judicial system.
"This visit, too, will contribute to increasing the awareness of
the need to reform the domestic judiciary," Picula said.
