Under a quarter of the Croatian population have a good opinion about the independence of the country’s legal system. A new survey by the European Union institution, Eurobarometer, which surveyed all the member countries showed that only 23 percent of Croatians had faith in the courts and judges.
Compared to Denmark, which had 87 percent, and Finland, with 82 percent, it is clear that the perception of the legal system in Croatia has lots of work ahead of it. On the other end of the scale, only 23 percent people polled in Croatia, 29 percent in Slovakia and 30 percent in Bulgaria rate the independence of courts and judges as good.
