Meeting with Maja Kuhar, DKOM President

AmCham representatives met with Ms. Maja Kuhar, President of the State Commission, Mr. Anđelko Rukelj, Deputy President of the State Commission and Ms. Nelica Vidić Deputy President of the State Commission.

At the meeting AmCham’s position paper was presented “ Improving the Authority of the Institutions in the Public Procurement System“ that analyzes problems related to the competence of the institutions faced by the contracting authorities and tenderers and suggest ways to improve and modify the system.

Regarding the State Commission and the HAC of the Republic of Croatia, AmCham suggests the following:
- the publication of the Decisions of the State Commission and the Judgments of the HAC in the form that can be searched digitally; 
- strict compliance with the deadline of 30 days in the giving of judgments, as in practice it is often the case that when the HAC gives a judgment, the agreement is already being implemented, which results in the inability to execute the agreement according to the conditions already agreed;
- writing more clear statements in the judgments and improved communication with the State Commission, in order to avoid the State Commission misinterpreting judgments and cases in which judgments are not received for three months since they were given, etc.

DKOM representatives welcomed AmCham's recommendations and announced that Decisions of the State Commission would soon be available in digitally searchable form.

AmCham representatives at the meeting included Public Procurement Committee members Mr. Saša Jovičić, Ms. Jelena Markulin, Ms. Kristina Singer and Mr. Dražen Malbašić.
