It finances activities key to sustaining selected gains from Croatia's justice-related EU accession benchmarks pertaining to Chapter 23 (Justice and Fundamental Rights). Ongoing and planned activities are on track, funds are almost fully committed, and results targets have largely been achieved. Project activities focusing on the transformation and automation of business processes are having the highest impact in terms of improving efficiency and quality in courts and SAOs. In the last 6 months, some project highlights include: - The new personal bankruptcy framework came into effect. To support the rollout of the new framework, the project has supported various systems upgrades and has delivered training to mediators, trustees, judges and state attorneys. - Works at the Pula complex have been completed, and the MOJ is doing some noise checks before re-applying to the municipality for a building permit. - Progress has been made on the ICT Strategy and Enterprise Architecture Assessment, which will lay the groundwork for an 11.5 million EUR IPA- financed project that will further develop and modernize the judiciary's three main IT systems.
