Deciding on Administrative Matters

Upravni postupak je skup procesnih pravila o redu i obliku radnji prilikom donošenja upravnih akta kao i o obliku tih akata. Razlikujemo opći upravni postupak kojeg uređuje Zakon o općem upravnom postupku, te posebne postupke koji su uređeni posebnim zakonom. ZUP određuje način tijek i oblik i vođenja upravnog postupka pa se prema tome taj zakon ubraja u skupinu procesnih propisa. Upravna stvar je svaka stvar u kojoj javnopravno tijelo u upravnom postupku rješava o pravima, obvezama ili pravnim interesima fizičke ili pravne osobe ili drugih stranaka neposredno primjenjujući zakone, druge propise i opće akte kojima se uređuje odgovarajuće upravno područje, Ukoliko je posebnim propisom reguliran posebni postupak, ZUP se primjenjuje supsidijarno, odnosno posebni zakon derogira opći zakon. Prema zakonu postupaju javnopravna tijela rješavajući upravnu stvar. Ovim radom nastoji se opisati tijek upravnog postupka od samog početka odnosno pokretanja upravnog postupka pa sve do donošenja rješenja o određenoj upravnoj stvari, te pravnim lijekovima na koje stranka ima pravo ukoliko nije zadovoljna ishodom rješavanja upravne stvari. Objasnit će se tko su stranke u upravnom postupku, službena osoba i njezino postupanje, nadležnost javnopravnih tijela, zatim rješavanje upravne stvari neposredno i provedbom ispitnog postupka te utvrđivanje činjeničnog stanja, donošenje rješenja te pravo korištenja pravnih lijekova. Svrha pisanja ovog rada je upoznavanje društva sa pravnim pravilima kao i pravima i obvezama koje im sustav pruža kako bi se time zaštitili njihova prava i interesi, ali i opći društveni interesi, te da ih se upozna sa novonastalim promjenama koje je Hrvatski sabor izglasao 2021. godine, a stupile su na snagu 2022. godine. U Republici Hrvatskoj postoji česta izmjena osoba na političkoj vlasti što često dovodi do velikog broja izmjena zakona i drugih propisa što nažalost u određenoj mjeri otežava rješavanje upravne stvari. U današnje vrijeme građani žele efikasnije ostvarivanje svojih pravnih interesa, ali i zaštitu svojih prava u slučaju nezakonitog rada uprave. Sve su važnije procesna pravila po kojima službene osobe postupaju prilikom odlučivanja o zahtjevu stranke, a prilikom donošenja takvih pravila zakonodavac je dužan pridržavati se odredbi ustava te implementirati i međunarodne standarde te pravo Europske unije.Administrative procedure is a set of procedural rules on the order and form of actions during the adoption of administrative acts as well as on the form of these acts. We distinguish between general administrative procedure regulated by the Law on General Administrative Procedure and special procedures regulated by a separate law. The ZUP determines the manner, course and form of conducting the administrative procedure, so this law is therefore included in the group of procedural regulations. An administrative matter is any matter in which a public legal body decides in an administrative procedure on the rights, obligations or legal interests of a natural or legal person or other parties by directly applying laws, other regulations and general acts governing the corresponding administrative area. If a special procedure is regulated by a special regulation , ZUP is applied subsidiarily, that is, a special law derogates from a general law. According to the law, public law bodies act by solving administrative matters. This paper attempts to describe the course of the administrative procedure from the very beginning, i.e. the initiation of the administrative procedure until the adoption of a decision on a certain administrative matter, and the legal remedies to which the party is entitled if he is not satisfied with the outcome of the administrative matter. It will be explained who are the parties in the administrative procedure, the official and his actions, the jurisdiction of the public law bodies, then the resolution of the administrative matter directly and through the implementation of the examination procedure, as well as the determination of the factual situation, the adoption of a decision and the right to use legal remedies. The purpose of writing this paper is to acquaint society with the legal rules as well as the rights and obligations that the system provides in order to protect their rights and interests, as well as general social interests, and to acquaint them with the new changes that the Croatian Parliament voted for in 2021. and entered into force in 2022. In the Republic of Croatia, there is a frequent change of persons in political power, which often leads to a large number of changes in laws and other regulations, which, unfortunately, makes it difficult to resolve administrative matters to a certain extent. Nowadays, citizens want more efficient realization of their legal interests, but also protection of their rights in case of illegal work of the administration. Procedural rules by which officials act when deciding on a party's request are increasingly important, and when adopting such rules, the legislator is obliged to comply with the provisions of the constitution and to implement international standards and European Union law
