ILLEGAL EVIDENCE

Zakonodavac je u Republici Hrvatskoj izričito propisao da se na takvom dokazu sudska odluka ne može temeljiti.Criminal proceeding in the Republic of Croatia is regulated by the Criminal procedure Code and it is initiated, conducted and terminated by applying exclusively rules prescribed by Criminal procedure Code.
