The Association of Croatian Judges has strongly reacted to statements made by Minister Božinović. The dispute centers around Božinović’s use of the term “Nazi-court” – “naci-kortea” in Croatian – when referring to the judiciary. Judges are demanding Božinović cease publicly criticizing them, viewing the remarks as a direct attack on their independence and integrity. They assert the comments undermine public trust in the Croatian judicial system and are unacceptable. The association has issued a sharp response, signaling a deepening rift between the government and the judiciary in Croatia. This incident raises concerns about political interference and the protection of judicial impartiality within Croatia. The judges believe Božinović’s statements are a deliberate attempt to discredit their work.
