First instance administrative procedure under the law on croatian homeland war veterans and members of their families

Neugodne posljedice Domovinskog rata, Hrvatska osjeća još i danas, bez obzira što je završio prije puno godina. No, otkad je završio, Hrvatska je prepoznala skupinu hrvatskih branitelja kao vrlo važnu skupinu u društvu, čija statusna pitanja valja pravilno definirati. Stoga, branitelji danas ostvaruju razna prava i statuse, za što se vodi prvenstveno upravni postupak. U tom se postupku rješava o njihovim pravima i statusima sukladno zakonskom okviru, počevši od nadležnog ministarstva pa do drugih državnih tijela. Zato i Grad Zagreb ima Gradski ured za branitelje, kako bi braniteljima koji su zadužili hrvatsku državu, osiguralo adekvatan postupak rješavanja statusnih prava hrvatskih branitelja i članova njihovih obitelji. U tom kontekstu, provodi prvostupanjski postupak. Predmet ovog rada, stoga je objasniti prvostupanjski postupak po Zakonu o hrvatskim braniteljima iz Domovinskog rata i članovima njihovih obitelji na primjeru rada Gradskog ureda.Croatia still feels the unpleasant consequences of the Homeland War today, regardless of the fact that it ended many years ago.

In this procedure, their rights and statuses are decided in accordance with the legal framework, starting from the competent ministry to other state bodies. That is why the City of Zagreb has a City Office for Veterans, in order to provide veterans who have indebted the Croatian state with an adequate procedure for resolving the status rights of Croatian veterans and members of their families. In this context, it conducts the first instance proceedings. The subject of this document, therefore, is to explain the first-instance procedure under the Croatian Veterans Act on the example of the work of the City Office
