La Corte costituzionale croata (Ustavni sud), con sentenza del 7/11/2012, ha sancito la parziale illegittimità costituzionale della "Legge sulla prevenzione del conflitto di interessi" (Act on the prevention of the conflict of interest, APCI), richiamando la giurisprudenza della Corte di Strasburgo. Ne dà notizia anche la newsletter n. 39 del sito www.europeanrights.eu
"The purpose of the measures provided by Act on the prevention of conflict of interest (further: APCI) is timely prevention of foreseeable or potential conflict of interest and effective resolution of existing conflict. Therefore, the purpose of the sanctions provided by APCI is not punishment of an official for finding himself in conflict of interest but rather punishment for non-compliance with legal obligations provided by APCI.
This legal distinction is important for proper understanding of the conflict of interest concept. In other words, area regulated by APCI belongs to administrative law. According to domestic legal classification, the APCI provides administrative measures and administrative sanctions for violations of its provisions.
Measures applied against official who violates APCI provisions cannot be based on presumption that determination of violation of the APCI provisions represents conflict of interest with corruptive elements or existence of corruption itself. This border must be clearly visible. On that border the effect of APCI and jurisdiction of respective Commission for conflict of interest cease to apply and criminal legislative starts to apply along with jurisdiction of respective criminal authorities. Also, Commission founded by APCI belongs to category of so called "preventive anti-corruption body" with the mission to manage policy "that promotes social activity and reflects principle of rule of law, proper management of public affair and property, honesty, transparency and responsibility." Also, when appropriate Commission supervises and harmonies policy implementation and spreads knowledge on corruption prevention.
In this respective constitutional proceedings the Constitutional Court held that in reference to Articles 8 paras. 13 and 14 in conjunction with Article 39 para. 5 and Article 55 paras. 2 and 4, also Article 26 paras. 3 and 27 and Article 46 and 47 of the APCI, the border between administrative (preventive) and criminal offence is not determined in constitutionally acceptable manner. ..."
