A European Commission document, initially published by the Telegram portal, has sparked controversy in Croatia involving the State Judicial Council (GSV). The document reportedly criticizes the GSV’s operations, leading to a strong reaction from Council President Ivan Turudić. Opposition parties have also referenced the report in public statements, amplifying the issue. The European Court of Justice previously ruled against Croatia regarding judicial independence, adding context to the current concerns. The specifics of the Commission’s findings remain a central point of contention. This development raises questions about the rule of law and judicial accountability within Croatia. The publication of the document has intensified existing scrutiny of the GSV’s practices.
