Senior judicial officials attending the opening, including Justice
Minister Ingrid Anticevic-Marinovic, said the Velika Gorica County
Court would step up the effectiveness of the judiciary and reduce
backlogs.
The new court has taken over 2,400 of some 23,000 cases being
processed at the Zagreb County Court, the busiest court in
Croatia.
According to the president of the Supreme Court, Ivica Crnic, the
executive authority, by supporting the opening of the Velika Gorica
County Court and for the first time filling all judges' seats, has
shown that it is sensitive to the problems of the judiciary.
As for the legislative authority, Crnic expects it will help the
judiciary adopt laws which will be easier to apply in practice.
