In order to turn current trends around, it is necessary to bring a completely new system of selection and promotion of judges and other employees in the judiciary. 
Kako bi se preokrenuli dosadašnji trendovi, potrebno je uvesti sasvim nov sustav odabira i promicanja pravosudnih kadrova.
The basic feature should be a high level of objectivity in recruitment and the obviation of all discretionary decisions that, because of the long tradition of nepotism and political influence, have marked practice to date. 
Njegovo osnovno obilježje trebao bi biti visok stupanj objektivizacije pri regrutiranju novog osoblja te isključenje diskrecijskih odluka koje su zbog duge tradicije nepotizma i političkih utjecaja obilježavale dosadašnju praksu.
In this context, it is particularly necessary to carry out thoroughgoing reform of the current bar exam, introducing strictly anonymous testing to result in the precise ranking of candidates, the success of whom should be monitored via a Gauss curve. 
U tom kontekstu posebno bi trebalo korjenito reformirati sadašnji pravosudni ispit, uvodeći striktno anonimno ispitivanje koje bi rezultiralo preciznim rangiranjem kandidata čiji bi se uspjeh mogao svrstati i pratiti prema Gaussovoj krivulji.
These conditions would also include an obligatory training programme for further professional education and the training of judiciary employees. 
U te uvjete ubrajali bi se i obvezatni programi stručnog usavršavanja i treninga pravosudnih djelatnika.
Today, the recommended measures may sound somewhat utopian. 
Navedene preporuke i mjere danas možda zvuče pomalo utopijski.
However, the great project of harmonising national standards with the highest standards of the Old Continent is somewhat utopian - it requires a great deal of changes, including those that can for some people have the significance of tectonic changes. 
No i veliki projekt usklađivanja nacionalnih standarda s najvišim standardima Starog kontinenta jest pomalo utopijski - on zahtijeva mnoge novosti, pa i one koje za neke strukture mogu imati značenje tektonskih promjena.

In 1999 the wages of judges were significantly improved, assuming that this would essentially contribute to the speed and quality ofjustice. 
vm Tako su u 1999. znatno poboljšane plaće sudaca jer se smatralo da će to bitno pridonijeti brzini i kvaliteti suđenja.
In 2003 the same justification is used to support plans to increase the budgets for court buildings and equipment, and employ new judges. 
U 2003. s istim se opravdanjem planira osjetno povećanje proračuna za sudske zgrade i opremu, a planira se i otvaranje novih sudačkih mjesta.
This was preceded by a campaign of the president of the Supreme Court Ivica Crnić, who several times stated that “precisely through the provision or non-provision of the conditions for the work of the courts can we see exactly how much the Croatian government cares about achieving the rule of law ”, at the same time expressing the view that in the Croatian judiciary no radical changes were necessary. 
Tome je prethodila kampanja predsjednika Vrhovnog suda Ivice Crnića, koji je više puta isticao da se "upravo kroz osiguravanje ili neosiguravanje uvjeta za rad sudova može iščitati koliko je hrvatskoj Vladi zaista stalo do ostvarenja vladavine prava ”, paralelno naglašavajući da u pravosuđu ipak nisu potrebne radikalne promjene.

According to the results of a research into the political agendas of twelve countries of South-East Europe carried out by the Stockholm International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, in Croatia of all the social institutions, the citizens have the least trust in the judiciary - only 17% (poll carried out in February 2002). 
lx Prema rezultatima istraživanja političkih agenda u dvanaest zemalja južne i jugoistočne Europe, koje je proveo Stockholmski International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA), u Hrvatskoj od svih socijalnih ustanova najmanje povjerenje građani imaju upravo u sudstvo - samo 17% (anketa provedena u veljači 2002).
A more detailed analysis according to category of respondent shows that those who are crucial for modern liberal democracy (who have the most experience with the judiciary), the educated middle class between 30 and 60, is lowest. 
Prikaz prema pojedinim kategorijama ispitanika pokazuje da je povjerenje u sudstvo najmanje u onim klasama koje su nosive za moderne liberalne demokracije (i koje sa sudstvom imaju najviše iskustva) - u obrazovanoj srednjoj klasi, među osobama u dobi između 30 i 60godina.

For this purpose the court was authorised, though not obliged, to order taking of evidence ex officio if it considered that this evidence was important. 
U tu je svrhu bio ovlašten (ne i obvezan!) izvoditi dokaze po službenoj dužnosti ako smatra da su ti dokazi važni za odlučivanje.
Instead of this, the court now has the same position in relation to both facts and evidence: producing of evidence (and finding facts) may be ordered ex officio only if it there are doubts regarding the legal permissibility ofparties' actions, i.e., if the court considers that the parties in a suit (which, as a rule, relates only to private interests of the parties) attempt to evade the mandatory regulations and achieve effects that violate the rights of third parties and of public morality. 
Umjesto toga, izjednačava se položaj činjenica i dokaza: sud bi i dokaze mogao izvoditi po službenoj dužnosti samo ako posumnja u dopuštenost stranačkih raspolaganja, tj. ako smatra da stranke u parnici (koja se po pravilu vodi radi rješavanja sporova koji se odnose samo na interes stranaka) nastoje zaobići prisilne propise i postići učinke kojima se vrijeđaju prava trećih ili javni moral.
In other words, the court can no longer determine the production of evidence if it is necessary solely for the determination of facts on which the claims that only affect rights and obligations of private parties in litigation - and this concerns the majority of civil litigation. 
Drugim riječima, sud više ne može odrediti izvođenje dokaza ako je to potrebno za utvrđivanje činjenica o kojima ovisi osnovanost zahtjeva kojim se samo ostvaruje privatno pravo stranke - a takva je većina građanskih parnica.

Both provisions in practice provoked more laughter than practical results, because they were infeasible and hence the practice ignored them entirely. 
Obje odredbe izazvale su u praksi više podsmijeha no praktičnih rezultata jer su kao neprovedive bile u cijelosti ignorirane.
On the whole, most such deadlines, that the legislators put in with great optimism, have been interpreted as a so called “instructive deadline ”, i.e., as an orientation target, that may be exceeded without affecting the validity of the actions taken. 
I inače je većina takvih rokova, koje su zakonodavci unosili s velikim optimizmom, pravno bila tumačena kao tzv. instruktivni rok, tj. orijentacijski rok čije prekoračenje neće voditi do nevažnosti naknadno poduzetih radnji.
These adjustments derive, it would seem, more from the incapacity of the practice to come to logical results by interpretation, than from real deficiencies in the previous wording. 
Navedena usklađivanja proizlaze, čini se, više iz nesposobnosti da se interpretativno dođe do logičnih rezultata negoli iz stvarnih nedostataka prethodnog teksta.

And so although I was to begin filled with the desire for political action, when I observed this state of affairs and saw the general confusion, I at last felt dizzy from it all. 
I tako, premda sam isprva bio ispunjen težnjom za političkim djelovanjem, kad sam tada promatrao to stanje i vidio opći metež, od toga mi se konačno zavrtjelo u glavi.
I did not, it is true, cease to think how these conditions themselves and the whole of the government of the state could be improved, but I waited for a suitable occasion for action of my own. 
Nisam, doduše, prestao razmišljati kako bi se mogle popraviti i same te prilike i cijelo državno uređenje, ali za vlastito djelovanje čekao sam pogodan čas.
In the end I became convinced that all current states have a bad government, because their lawgiving is incorrigible if there is no uncommon exploit aided by fortune. 
Naposljetku sam se uvjerio da sve sadašnje države imaju lošu upravu jer je njihovo zakonodavstvo nepopravljivo ako ne dođe do nekoga neobičnog zahvata potpomognutoga srećom.

This paper analyses the quality of governance and public administration as key determinants for successful functioning within the European Union (EU). 
U ovom se radu analiziraju kvaliteta governancea i javne uprave kao ključnih odrednica za uspješno funkcioniranje unutar Europske unije (EU).
A comparison between Croatia and future and present EU members is made, according to separate governance indicators (rule of law, democracy, corruption, political stability, government effectiveness) and experience in reform of the public administration. 
Daje se usporedba Hrvatske sa sadašnjim i budućim članicama EU-a, i to na temelju odabranih governance pokazatelja (vladavine prava, demokracije, korupcije, političke stabilnosti, djelotvornosti države) i iskustva u reformi javne uprave.
The paper shows that Croatia by all quality of governance indicators, particularly with respect to the rule of law, lags considerably behind the EU and the Central Europe candidate countries. 
Rad pokazuje da Hrvatska po svim pokazateljima kvalitete governancea, a osobito po vladavini prava, znatno zaostaje za EU-om i zemljama kandidatkinjama iz središnje Europe.
The low level of the rule of law in combination with an inadequate public administration is potentially the greatest obstacle in Croatia's accession to the EU as well as in the creation of sustainable economic and social development. 
Niska razina vladavine prava u kombinaciji s neadekvatnom javnom upravom potencijalno je najveća prepreka u pridruživanju Hrvatske EU, ali i u ostvarivanju održivoga ekonomskog i društvenog razvoja.

Since all countries, including those in the EU, have as their objectives a standard of living that is as high as possible, it is understandable why increased attention is directed towards governance. 
Budući da je cilj svih zemalja, pa tako i onih unutar EU-a, što viši životni standard, razumljivo je zašto se sve veća pozornost pridaje governanceu.
In the last dozen years there has been growing awareness that good governance is the key determinant of the ability to attain sustainable economic and social development. 
Naime, u posljednjih desetak godina raste svijest o tome da je dobar governance ključna odrednica sposobnosti postizanja održivoga ekonomskog i društvenog razvoja.
There is ever more evidence that for development it is not enough just to hit upon the appropriate policy, but it is also necessary to have a good institutional structure. 
Sve je jasnije da za razvoj nije dovoljno samo "pogoditi" odgovarajuću politiku već je nužno imati i dobru institucionalnu strukturu.
A good institutional structure implies the existence of an environment that enables effective implementation of a given policy and that encourages individuals to invest in capital, education and technology - the factors behind economic growth. 
Pod dobrom institucionalnom strukturom misli se na postojanje okruženja koje omogućuje učinkovito provođenje odabrane politike i koje potiče pojedince na investiranje u kapital, obrazovanje i tehnologiju - činitelje ekonomskog razvoja.
Governance refers primarily to government, and one of the pillars of government is the public administration. 
Governance se ponajprije odnosi na državu, a jedan od stupova države je javna uprava.
It has been shown that it has been precisely this that has been one of the main barriers to successful transition to a democratic society and a market economy. 
Pokazalo se da je upravo ona bila među temeljnim preprekama za uspješnu tranziciju u demokratsko društvo i tržišno gospodarstvo.
Its transformation and modernisation in line with the principles of good governance are becoming particularly important in the context of European integration because strong administrative capacities are necessary for the whole of the process to be successfully concluded. 
Njezina transformacija i modernizacija, u skladu s načelima dobroga governancea, postaju osobito važne u kontekstu europskih integracija jer su potrebne jake administrativne sposobnosti kako bi cijeli taj proces bio uspješno završen.
At the beginning of the paper there is an explanation of the concept of governance and its connection with public administration. 
Na početku ovog rada objašnjava se značenje pojma governance i njegove povezanosti s javnom upravom.
After citation of those conditions for EU membership that are related to the subject of the paper, the quality of governance and public administration in Croatia is described and a comparison with the EU average, with selected candidate countries and the less developed countries of the EU is given. 
Nakon navođenja uvjeta za pridruživanje EU, vezanih za predmet rada, opisuje se kvaliteta governancea i javne uprave u Hrvatskoj te daje usporedba s prosjekom EU-a, odabranim zemljama kandidatkinjama i manje razvijenim zemljama EU-a.
The quality of governance is assessed according to the following indicators: rule of law, development of democracy, spread of corruption, political stability and effectiveness of government. 
Kvaliteta governancea procjenjuje se na temelju vladavine prava, razvijenosti demokracije, raširenosti korupcije, političke stabilnosti i djelotvornosti države.
The paper briefly describes the experience of some European countries in the reform of the public administration. 
Rad ukratko opisuje i iskustva nekoliko europskih zemalja u reformi javne uprave.
At the very end a summary of the key problems of governance and public administration in Croatia on the road to the EU is offered and some concrete recommendations for their solution are provided. 
Na samom kraju daje se sažetak ključnih problema governancea i javne uprave u Hrvatskoj na putu prema EU te daju konkretne preporuke za njihovo rješavanje.
GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION 
GOVERNANCE I JAVNA UPRAVA
It is quite difficult to reply to the simple question: what exactly is governance? 
Prilično je teško odgovoriti na jednostavno pitanje: što je zapravo governance?
There is no consensus about a definition, although all start out from the idea that it is about something that has a complex historical, political and social/cultural background, and hence requires an interdisciplinary approach. 
Konsenzus oko definicije ne postoji iako svi polaze od toga da je riječ o nečemu što ima složenu povijesnu, političku i sociokulturološku podlogu, te da samim time zahtijeva interdisciplinarni pristup.
The narrowest definition is: the science about government and its performance (Dethier 1999:5). 
Najuža definicija glasi: governance je znanost o ponašanju vlade/države i uspješnosti njezina djelovanja (Dethier, 1999: 5).
The World Bank, which was the first to give prominence to the role of governance,i describes it as the manner in which authority is exercised in the management of country's economic and social resources for development (World Bank, 1992:1). 
Svjetska banka, koja je prva dala veliku ulogu governance^ opisuje ga kao način na koji se vlast koristi u upravljanju ekonomskim i društvenim resursima za razvoj neke zemlje (World Bank, 1992:1).
It might be characterised as the capacity of the formal and informal institutional environment (in which individuals, social groups, civil associations and government officials and employees interact) to apply and carry through a given government policy and to improve coordination in the private sector (Ahrens, 2002:128). 
Moguće ga je okarakterizirati i kao sposobnost formalnoga i neformalnoga institucionalnog okruženja (u kojemu međusobno djeluju pojedinci, društvene skupine, građanske udruge i državni dužnosnici/službenici) da primijeni i provede određenu državnu politiku i poboljša koordinaciju u privatnom sektoru (Ahrens, 2002:128).
Thus the key words are institutions and government, and the questions that dominate are how, and how well.ii From these sentences one can see that there is no totally adequate translation for this concept in Croatian publications, although there have been some attempts. 
Dakle, ključne su riječi institucije i država, a glavna su pitanja kako i koliko dobro.ii Iz tih rečenica može se vidjeti da prijevod tog pojma riječju upravljanje, koja se sve češće rabi u domaćim publikacijama, nije potpuno adekvatan.
All these definitions rely on a single empirical fact: identical reform measures that governments undertake have different results in different countries. 
Sve se navedene definicije temelje na istoj empirijskoj činjenici: slične reformske mjere koje poduzima država u različitim zemljama imaju poprilično drugačije rezultate.
It seems extremely likely that the different quality of the governance involved is very largely responsible for this. 
Vjerojatno tome pridonosi različita kvaliteta governancea.
In other words, countries with better governance should be able to achieve their development aims more easily and effectively. 
Drugim riječima, zemlje s boljim governanceom trebale bi lakše i djelotvornije ostvariti razvojne ciljeve.
Research has pointed out that such countries do indeed have a higher per capita income and better other indicators of development. 
Istraživanja su pokazala kako takve zemlje uistinu imaju viši dohodak po stanovniku, kao i bolje ostale pokazatelje razvijenosti."
The economic refers to the process of making decisions that affect the economic activities of the country and its relations with other countries. 
Ekonomski se odnosi na proces donošenja odluka koje utječu na ekonomske aktivnosti zemlje i njezin odnos s drugim zemljama.
The political pillar is the process of forming policy according to decisions that have been made, and the administrative relates to the implementation of this policy. 
Politički stup je proces oblikovanja politike na temelju donesenih odluka, a administrativni se odnosi na primjenu te politike.
This administrative pillar is embodied in the public administration. 
Taj administrativni stup je javna uprava.
Governance describes how authority is exercised, and the public administration possesses part of this authority. 
Governance opisuje kako se koristi vlast, a javna uprava posjeduje dio vlasti.
Accordingly, an evaluation of governance, as good or bad, depends to an extent on the successfulness of the work of the public administration. 
Prema tome, ocjena governancea (je li dobar ili loš) ovisi i o uspješnosti rada javne uprave.
And what anyway are the criteria in general for defining something as good and how can it be measured? 
Uostalom, koji su uopće kriteriji za definiranje nečega dobrim i kako se to onda može izmjeriti?
Naturally, the government does not work in a vacuum: the success of its action depends on the interaction with the private sector and civil society. 
Naravno, država ne djeluje u vakuumu; uspješnost njezina djelovanja ovisi o interakciji s privatnim sektorom i civilnim društvom.
