The topic of the meeting was the presentation of AmCham's position paper Proposals for the improvement of the implementation of the Public Procurement Act. AmCham members have been monitoring the implementation of the Act for two and a half years and have noticed practices that need to be improved to achieve a better functioning of public procurement in Croatia. 

Areas that need to be improved include the most economically advantageous tender (ENP), changes to public procurement contracts and supervision of the execution of public procurement contracts, framework agreements, simple procurement and prior consultation.

Ms. Kuhar stated that AmCham's recommendations overlap in some parts with DKOM's annual report. She also stressed that the education of stakeholders in the public procurement system is of the utmost importance, as well as better planning of the procedures.

AmCham representatives included Andrea Doko Jelušić, Executive Director, Saša Jovičić, Chair of the Public Procurement Committee, Jelena Markulin, Vice-Chair of the Public Procurement Committee and Dražen Malbašić, Policy Manager.
