Europski upravni prostor leži na dvjema skupinama ljudskih prava. Prva promoviraju demokratsku otvorenost i participaciju građana te jačaju ulaznu legitimnost javne uprave, dok se druga odnose na dobro javno upravljanje i jačaju izlaznu legitimnost uprave. Povelja o temeljnim pravima koja je sastavni dio Lisabonskog ugovora na snazi od 2009. daje nužnu pravnu osnovu obiju skupina ljudskih prava. Rad se bavi pitanjem uloge mjesne samouprave u jačanju EU-standarda otvorenosti, participacije i dobrog upravljanja. Obrađuju se dva istraživačka pitanja: a) koja je pravna, a koja stvarna uloga mjesne samouprave u Hrvatskoj, b) može li ona doprinijeti jačanju ulazne ili izlazne legitimnosti poretka. Analiziraju se opći akti izabranih gradova o mjesnoj samoupravi te sadržaj internetskih stranica mjesnih odbora svih hrvatskih gradova. Slijedeći kategorizaciju koju su postavili Hlepas i drugi (2018.), uz nadopunu u skladu s hrvatskim okolnostima, analiziraju se uloge hrvatske mjesne samouprave. Na osnovi nalaza i odabranih komparativnih iskustava interpretira se trenutačno stanje hrvatske mjesne samouprave te se formuliraju preporuke za unaprjeđenje. ; The European administrative space is based on two groups of human rights. The first promotes democratic openness and citizen participation, and strengthens the input legitimacy of public administration, while the other relates to good public governance and strengthens the output legitimacy of public administration. The Charter of Fundamental Rights, which forms an integral part of the Lisbon Treaty in force since 2009, provides the necessary legal basis for both groups of human rights. The paper deals with the question of the role of sub-municipal government in strengthening the EU's standards of openness, participation and good governance. Two research questions are analyzed: a) what is the legal and actual role of sub-municipal government in Croatia; and b) can it contribute to strengthening the input or output legitimacy of public administration? The general acts of sub-municipal government in selected cities and the contents of the websites of the sub-municipal governments of all Croatian cities are analyzed. Following the categorization by Hlepas et al. (2018), adapted to the Croatian circumstances, the role of the Croatian sub-municipal government is analyzed. Based on the findings and selected comparative insights, the current state of Croatian sub-municipal government is interpreted and recommendations for improvement are formulated.

U radu su analizirani zakonski i normativno-pravni akti o sudjelovanju građana u procesu donošenja odluka u jedinicama lokalne samouprave. Sudjelovanje građana u procesu odlučivanja jeste građansko pravo koje građani konzumiraju na svim razinama vlasti, kako na lokalnim tako i na višim razinama vlasti, što čini temelj razvoja demokratskog društva. S obzirom na složenost ustroja i funkcioniranja Bosne i Hercegovine, postoji velik broj normativno-pravnih akata koji reguliraju navedeno područje. Može se očekivati da će ova tema biti zanimljiva ne samo znanstvenicima čije je polje zanimanja javna uprava nego i široj javnosti iz razloga što građani većinu svojih interesa, potreba i očekivanja (prema provedenim istraživanjima preko 70%) upravo ostvaruju na lokalnoj razini. ; Citizens' participation in decision-making process is a civil right that citizens consume at all government levels, either directly or indirectly. Citizens' participation is regulated by the Constitutions (at the state, entity, and cantonal levels), as well as by the laws on local self-government and by the statute, which is the basic normative legal act of local self-government units. Although legal regulation of citizens' participation has been harmonised with the European Charter of Local Self-Government, an analysis of legislation concerning citizens' participation has shown numerous differences, deficiencies, and unfinished solutions in the regulations at the municipal and sub-municipal levels, as well as at the entity and cantonal levels of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, primarily due to the complex organisation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. What is necessary is to adopt the Law of Referendum at the entity (and state) level, and to amend and harmonise other regulations related to citizens' participation – entity and cantonal Constitutions, the Law on Local Self-Government at the entity and cantonal levels, and municipal and sub-municipal statutes. It is also necessary to adopt the Regulation of the Rules of Citizens' participation at the Local Level. Local self-government units must develop and adopt their partnership strategies for cooperation with local citizens.

Srpska demokratska stranka (akr. SDS) bila je radikalna, etnonacionalistička stranka srpskoga puka koja je osnovana 17. veljače 1990. na platou ispred Željezničkoga kolodvora u Kninu, a 6. ožujka 1990. upisana je u Registar društvenih organizacija SR Hrvatske. Osnivačkoj skupštini nazočilo je sedam tisuća građana srpske nacionalnosti koji su aklamacijom podržali pročitani programski dokument. SDS osnovao je akademik Jovan Rašković, šibenski psihijatar, pod "dirigentskom palicom" srbijanske Službe državne bezbednosti (akr. SDB), na čijem se čelu u to vrijeme nalazio haški optuženik Jovica Stanišić, vjerni Miloševićev sljedbenik. SDS je imao vodeću političku ulogu u ratnim događanjima u Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini. Njezini su članovi organizirali naoružavanje Srba, podržavali ubijanje, protjerivanje i druge ratne zločine protiv pripadnika nesrpskoga puka na području Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine. Općinski je odbor SDS-a za Općinu Podravska Slatina na čelu s Milunom Karadžićem na području Općine Podravska Slatina organizirao naoružavanje srpskoga puka, iskazao građanski neposluh i blokirao rad Općinske skupštine Podravska Slatina. Nakon SDS-ove blokade rada Izvršnoga vijeća Općinske skupštine Podravska Slatina reagirao je ministar pravosuđa i uprave Branko Babac. On je 24. srpnja 1991. donio Naredbu o poduzimanju posebnih mjera u općini Podravska Slatina kojom je raspuštena Skupština Općine Podravska Slatina, a istovremeno je imenovao povjerenika Vlade Republike Hrvatske. ; The Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) was a radical ethnic-nationalist Serbian party, founded on the platform in front of the railway station in Knin on February 17, 1990 and registered in the Register of Social Organizations of the Socialist Republic of Croatia on March 6, 1990. The Founding Assembly was attended by seven thousand citizens of Serbian nationality, who gave their support to the program document by acclamation. Academician Jovan Raskovic, a psychiatrist from Sibenik, founded SDS under control of the Serbian State Security Sevice ("SDB"), at that time led by the Hague indictee Jovica Stanisic, a faithful Milosevic follower. SDS had a leading political role in war events in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its members organized the arming of Serbs, supported killing, expelling and other war crimes against non-Serbs in the territory of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. SDS Municipal Committee for the Municipality of Podravska Slatina headed by Milun Karadic organized the arming of Serbs in the area of the Municipality of Podravska Slatina, expressed civil disobedience and blocked the functioning of the Municipal Assembly of Podravska Slatina. After SDS had blocked the function of the Executive Council of the Municipal Assembly of Podravska Slatina, a reaction came from the Justice and Administration Minister Branko Babac. On July 24, 1991 he issued the Order to take special measures in the Municipality of Podravska Slatina, whereupon the Assembly of the Municipality of Podravska Slatina was dissolved and a Commissioner of the Croatian Government was appointed at the same time.

Komentiraju se slijed dosadašnjih pokušaja te aktualni napo-ri u vezi s decentralizacijom. Elaborira se četrnaest prijedloga za korjenitu decentralizaciju, koja jedina ima smisla ako se lokalna i regionalna samouprava želi konstituirati kao jedan od ključnih aktera ekonomskog, društvenog i socijalnog razvoja te ekonomske stabilnosti zemlje. Riječ je o: oblikovanju strategije decentralizacije; u čvršćenju strukture za regionalni razvoj; zadržavanja dvostupanjske strukture terito- rijalne samouprave, ali različite od postojeće; formiranju pet regija umjesto sadašnjih dvadeset županija; spajanju preko 550 lokalnih jedinica u 150 velikih općina; zadržavanju i ja-č anju mjesne samouprave; preoblikovanje županija u uprav- ne okruge s primjenom načela one-stop-shop, smanjenjem broja tih okruga na desetak i širenjem njihova djelokruga na poslove sadašnjih područnih jedinica središnjih tijela državne uprave; jačanju financijskog kapaciteta lokalne samouprave tako da se dosegne udio lokalnih rashoda u rashodima opće drž ave od 25% u narednih pet godina; uvođenju mješovitog izbornog sustava tako da se pored proporcionalnog uvede većinsko predstavništvo; formiranju Agencije za lokalne službenike kao nezavisnog tijela na razini države; usposta- vi jedinstvenog informacijskog sustava lokalne samouprave; prenošenju dijela poslova državne uprave na obavljanje većim jedinicama lokalne samouprave; formiranju ekspertne radne skupine za pripremu decentralizacije; planiranju decentralizacije tako da se čitav program provede do lokalnih izbora 2017. Navode se i mogućnosti usavršavanja postojećeg centraliziranog modela organizacije države, ponajprije kroz diferencijaciju položaja objektivno različitih jedinica te poticanje i nametanje intermunicipalne suradnje. ; The paper begins with a comment on the sequence of previous attempts at decentralisation and a description of current efforts made concerning the decentralisation process. Fourteen suggestions for substantive decentralisation are elaborated. A substantive decentralisation is the only reasonable decentralisation form if local and regional self-government is to be constituted as one of the key actors of economic and social development, and of economic stability of the country. These fourteen sugges- tions include: (1) designing a decentralisation strategy; (2) strengthening the structure for regional development; (3) maintaining the two-tier system of territorial self-government, which should nevertheless differ from the existing model; (4) forming five regions instead of the existing twenty counties; (5) merging more than 550 local units into 150 large municipalities; (6) maintaining and strengthening forms of intra-municipal self-government; (7) reshaping counties into state administrative units with the implementation of one-stop-shop principle, by reducing them to ten units and by widening their competences to the tasks of the existing branch of- fices of various ministries; (8) strengthening the financial capacity of local self-government so as to rise the share of local expenditures in the general state expenditures to 25 per cent in the next five years; (9) considering the introduction of mixed electoral system, so as to introduce plurality representation along with proportional; (10) establishing an Agency for Local Civil Servants as a central level independent body; (11) establishing an integrated information system on local governments; (12) transferring certain state administrative tasks to larger local self-government units; (13) forming an group of experts that would professionaly prepare decentralisation; (14) planning decentralisation so that the whole programme will have been finished by 2017 local elections. The author has also made suggestions for the another scenario – improvement of the existing cen- tralised model of state organisation, primarily via deeper differentiation between the objectively different local units, and stimulation and imposition of intermunicipal cooperation.

Polazeći od razlikovanja normativne i stvarne slike mjesne samouprave, najprije se analiziraju elementi lokalne zajednice, kao realnog supstrata mjesne i lokalne samouprave. Autor nalazi trinaest potrebnih karakteristika mjesnih odbora kao realnih društvenih zajednica. Uz normativnu regulaciju mjesne samouprave detaljnije se analiziraju različiti praktični elementi organizacije, funkcioniranja i financiranja mjesne samouprave u Hrvatskoj. Zaključuje se da pozicija i praksa mjesne samouprave nisu optimalne s gledišta demokratskih standarda, javnog upravljanja i pružanja javnih usluga građanima na njima najbližoj razini teritorijalne samouprave. ; Beginning with the difference between normative and real situation in local selfgovernment below municipal level in Croatia, the author analyses the elements of local community as a real substrate of both self-government below municipal level and local self-government. He has found thirteen necessary characteristics of territorial committees as real social communities. Along with normative regulation of self-government below municipal level, he has performed a more detailed analysis of different practical elements, such as organisation, functioning, and financing of self-government below municipal level in Croatia. It is concluded that the position and practice of this type of self-government is not optimal regarding democratic standards, public management, and the provision of public services to citizens at the level of territorial self-government closest to them.

U posljednjih nekoliko godina brazilske gradske vlasti pokrenule su portale s otvorenim podacima. Njihove inicijative pojavljuju se u trenutku kada se počinje primjenjivati Zakon o transparentnosti, koji propisuje rokove za usvajanje i primjenu mjera usmjerenih na povećanje transparentnosti vlasti, kao što su "portali transparentnosti", ali propisuje i sankcije za neprihvaćanje i neprovođenje tih mjera. U skladu s tim u ovom se radu istražuje hoće li gradovi koji imaju portale s višim indeksom digitalne transparentnosti (engl. Digital Transparency Index, DTI) imati i najkvalitetnije inicijative za otvaranje podataka. Kako bi se ostvarili ti ciljevi, službeni portali i inicijative za otvaranje podataka vrednuju se uz pomoć metode koju predlaže Paula Amorim (2012) i uz uvjete koje ističu Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF, 2011) i Tim Berners-Lee (2010). Rezultati ukazuju na to da ne postoji izravna veza između indeksa digitalne transparentnosti i kvalitete inicijativa za otvaranje podataka u pet istraživanih gradova. Rasprava o rezultatima ukazuje na nepostojanje precizne javne politike o digitalnoj demokraciji koja bi u isto vrijeme promicala ne samo vladine podatke nego i transparentnost podataka. ; In the last few years, Brazilian municipal governments have launched their open data web portals. These initiatives have been taking place as part of the implementation of the Transparency Act, which sets forth deadlines and punishments concerning the adoption and performance of steps that focus on government transparency, such as the presence of transparency portals. Accordingly, this paper aims to check whether municipalities that keep portals with higher a Digital Transparency Index (DTI) will also prove to have the strongest open data initiatives. In order to achieve this goal we assess the official portals and open data initiatives in five Brazilian capitals by using the methodologies proposed by Paula Amorim (2012), and the prerequisites pointed out by the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF, 2011), and Tim Berners-Lee (2010). The results indicate that there is no direct relationship between the Digital Transparency Index and the strength of open data actions in each municipality. The discussion of the results points to the absence of a concise public policy on digital democracy that is able to promote transparency and government data simultaneously.

Stjecanjem povlastica slobodnoga i kraljevskoga grada započelo je novo razdoblje osječke povijesti. Promjene su se ponajviše ticale funkcioniranja gradske uprave u novim pravnim i društvenim okolnostima. Dosadašnja rijetka istraživanja onovremene osječke upravne povijesti u pravilu su se zadržavala na ustrojstvu i nadležnostima tamošnje gradske općine. U ovom radu autori su se bavili pitanjem sastava i značajki prve uprave slobodnoga i kraljevskoga grada Osijeka, koja je s radom počela u kolovozu 1809. godine. Na temelju gradiva osječkoga poglavarstva autori daju povijesni i pravni kontekst izboru i imenovanju članova uprave te analizu njihovih sociodemografskih karakteristika zabilježenih primarno u evidencijama građana. ; When the city of Osijek received the charter of privileges and became a free and royal city in 1809, a new stage in its historical and legal development began. Although the citizens' request for the charter from the Emperor Francis I was probably mainly motivated by the presumed prospects of the economic development, as it arrived rather late, i.e. some four decades before the feudalism was abolished in the Habsburg lands, its effects were mostly of legal and administrational nature. This is probably why the few works that cover the topic of Osijek's municipal history in the first half of the 19th century mainly deal with issues such as legal status of the Free and Royal City of Osijek and its citizens, the organisation of the local authority, etc. Although these historical aspects are indeed crucial to understanding the role of the local authority in the broad system of public (state) administration, as well as in the community, there are others that could complement our knowledge in that respect, such as the influence of different political, ideological, demographic and cultural factors. Among them are sociodemographic characteristics of the members of the city government. Besides an overview of the historical events prior to the election and appointment of the first government of the Free and Royal City of Osijek, the legal context and its organisation, as well as the very process of election, the authors analyse the sociodemographic characteristics of its highest-ranking members. The analysis included 57 officials and administration officers, i.e. 7 members of the City Council (Magistrate), 40 members of the Elected Commune (Assembly) with its President, and 9 other heads and deputies of the most important offices and services. Characteristics recorded in the registries of Osijek's citizens that were in focus of the research were the nobility status, religion, profession and place of origin. Combining the results and the official criteria for the election of the local authority officials and officers, the authors suggest that the leading criteria were the education and former work experience in the public administration. This is, of course, related to the social standing of the individuals, because the elites traditionally had better education and better overall access to public positions. Consequently, the majority of nobles and intellectual workers among the citizens were elected or appointed to a position in the local authority. Two most represented groups (equal in numbers) were merchants and craftsmen, but if we look at the overall population of people with citizen status, there were three times more craftsmen than merchants, which means that the latter were, relatively speaking, more represented in the local administration, as their social status was generally better. The only two religious groups that could apply for Osijek's citizenship were members of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox communities. The latter, as a minority, was a slightly underrepresented, but within the limits of the obligatory one quarter of the representatives in the Elected Commune. The place of origin had little or no influence on the election and appointment of members of the local authority, but it clearly portrays the City of Osijek as a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural community in which the citizens that came from other parts of the Habsburg Monarchy or even outside of it were well integrated.

Pitanje prave mjere decentralizacije unutar Grada Zagreba analizira se u širem okviru. Ističe se decentralizacija kao jedan od temeljnih reformskih procesa u suvremenim političko-upravljačkim sustavima europskih zemalja. No, decentralizacija nije jedini proces koji utječe na formiranje dobrih standarda upravljanja gradovima: nužno je uzeti u obzir i doktrinu dobrog upravljanja, koju podupire Europska unija, niz drugih međunarodnih organizacija, ali i sve veći broj zemalja. U ostvarenju standarda dobrog gradskog upravljanja razmatra se uloga mjesne samouprave u Hrvatskoj, a napose u velikim gradovima i Gradu Zagrebu. Upozorava se da osnivanje preko dvije stotine mjesnih odbora kao zasebnih pravnih osoba vodi prema fragmentaciji Grada Zagreba i bitno otežava ili čak i onemogućuje integrirano gradsko upravljanje i smisleno rješavanje urbanih i upravljačkih problema. ; The issue of adequate decentralisation within the City of Zagreb is analysed in the broader frame. Decentralisation is one of the main reform processes of the current governance system in European countries. However, decentralisation is not the only process that influences the standards of good urban governance. Good governance doctrine, supported and implemented in the European Union, many other international organisations, and increasing number of countries world-wide, should be taken into consideration as well. The role of territorial selfgovernment below municipal level in implementation of good urban governance standards in Croatia, especially within large cities and the City of Zagreb, is discussed. It should be emphasised that establishing more than two hundred of territorial committees as separate and full legal entities can cause managerial fragmentation in the City of Zagreb and hinder or even impede integral urban management and sound solving of numerous urban and managerial problems.

Politika Kraljevine Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca prema krajevima koji su prethodno bili u sastavu Austro-Ugarske Monarhije bila je politika pokoravanja i iskorištavanja. Proces centralizacije nastojao je svu moć odlučivanja i raspolaganja novcem poreznih obveznika skoncentrirati u Beograd. Tu je politiku provodila vodeća politička snaga, Narodna radikalna stranka. Osijek je bio jedan od gradova čiji je razvoj stradao zbog takve politike. Kako radikali nisu imali dovoljno političke moći u Osijeku, silom su namentnuli svoju vlast kroz instituciju komesarijata. Ta je privremena institucija pod pritiskom središnje vlasti postala dugotrajna te se održala godinu i pol (od listopada 1926. do travnja 1928.). Za vrijeme komesarijata u Osijeku gradska je blagajna bila na raspolaganju radikalima. Oni su u potpunosti zanemarili razvojni plan grada Osijeka te osmislili izvlačenje općinskoga novca ulaganjem u investicije koje gradu nisu donosile ništa osim troškova. ; Te policy of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes to areas that had previously been part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was a policy of subjugation and exploitation. Te process of centralization sought the full power of decision-making and management of taxpayers' money to concentrate in Belgrade. Such a policy was carried out by the leading political force, the People's Radical Party. Osijek was one of the cities whose development suffered as a result of such a policy. As Radicals did not have enough political power in Osijek, they forced their power through the institution of Commissioner. Tis was to be a temporary institution, and under pressure from the central government became a long-term, maintaining a year and a half (October 1926 - April 1928). During the commissariat in Osijek city's treasury was available to the Radicals. Tey completely neglected the development plan of the city of Osijek and created extracting municipal money by investing in investments that the city did not bring anything to the city but cost.

The Local Administrative Office of Motovun began its work in 1961 following the termination of the People's Committee of the Municipality of Motovun, whose area fell under the jurisdiction of the Municipalities of Buzet and Pazin. The Local Administrative Office of Motovun, as an administrative body of the People's Committee of the Municipality of Pazin, included a part of the places under the former Municipality of Motovun, which were passed to the Municipality of Pazin, namely Motovun, Brkač, Kaldir, Zamask and Sveti Bartol. It performed tasks within its scope according to instructions and under the direct supervision of superior administrative authorities. It operated until the end of 1964, when it was abolished, while the area of its competence was transferred to a new municipal administrative authority pursuant to the provisions of the new Statute of the Municipality of Pazin from 1964. Following the cessation of the creator's activities, the archives were stored in the registry of the municipal administrative body of the Municipal Assembly of Pazin, where it remained until it was taken over by the Archives in 1972 and 1973, together with all post-war archives of Pazin and Motovun local governments. The material was arranged during 2012, when a summary inventory was made. The structure of the fund was created in accordance with the content-functional model following the regulations from the Order regarding the plan of unique archival signs for all administrative bodies in the territory of the People's Republic of Croatia from 1958 and is divided into the following series: "Office Records", "General Affairs", "Work and Employment Relationships", "Internal Affairs", "Economy", "Finance" and "Education, Science and Culture". ; L'Ufficio d'amministrazione locale di Montona cominciò a operare nel 1961 con la cessazione dell'attività del Comitato popolare comunale di Montona il cui territorio ricadde sotto la competenza territoriale dei comuni di Pinguente e Pisino. La competenza dell'Ufficio d'amministrazione locale di Montona quale organo amministrativo del Comitato popolare comunale di Pisino interessò una parte dei luoghi dell'ex comune di Montona che allora ricaddero sotto il comune di Pisino: Montona, Bercaz, Caldier, Zamasco e S. Bortolo. Svolgeva attività dell'ambito di sua competenza in base alle istruzioni e sotto la diretta sorveglianza degli organi amministrativi superiori. Operò fino alla fine dell'anno 1964, quando venne soppresso, e le sue competenze, in base alle disposizioni del nuovo Statuto del Comune di Pisino del 1964, passarono al nuovo organo d'amministrazione comunale. Con la cessazione delle attività del soggetto produttore, il materiale fu conservato nell'archivio dell'organo amministrativo comunale dell'Assemblea del Comune di Pisino dove rimase fino al suo trasferimento nell'Archivio, nel 1972 e 1973, con tutto il materiale del dopoguerra dell'amministrazione locale di Pisino e di Montona. Il materiale fu ordinato durante l'anno 2012 quando fu creato anche l'inventario sommario. La struttura del fondo era formata in base al modello contenutistico-funzionale nel rispetto della normativa dell'Ordinanza sul piano dei segni archivistici unici per tutti gli organi amministrativi sul territorio della Repubblica Popolare di Croazia del 1958 e fu classificata nelle seguenti serie: »Registrazioni d'ufficio«, »Lavori generali«, »Lavoro e rapporti di lavoro«, »Lavori interni«, »Economia«, »Finanze« ed »Educazione, scienza e cultura«.

U klasičnom prirodnom pravu pojam ustava odnosio se na zakone, institucije i praksu organiziranja i usmjeravanja države i političkog sustava. Prema ovom shvaćanju, svaki je politički sustav grada-države imao ustav. Suvremeno značenje ustava dobija pak specifično i vrijedonosno utemeljenje: ustav se danas odnosi na uspostavu posebnog oblika političkog poretka. Suvremeni ustavi govore o ograničenoj vladi (limited government). Ustavom se politička vlast konstituira i ograničava u isto vrijeme. Neke su države ustavne zato jer imaju ograničenu i odgovornu vlast, a druge nisu. U potonjem slučaju govorimo o državama koje imaju ustav, ali nemaju konstitucionalizam. Nakon građanskih revolucija, konstitucionalizam je postao središnji mehanizam kontrole političke vlasti i osiguranja slobode. U tekstu se otvara pitanje da li Statut Korčule iz 2014./1265. godine, kao normativna projekcija komunalnih organa u Gradu i na Otoku Korčuli (skupština čitavog naroda, knez, veliko vijeće, malo vijeće, kurija, komunalne službe.), omogućuje podlogu istraživanja (dis)kontinuiteta "starog konstitucionalizma" (ancient constitutionalism) i kasnijih racionalnih, jednoobraznih i kontraktualističkih oblika modernog konstitucionalizma koji se temelje na ustavu kao najvišem pravnom aktu i sudskoj kontroli ustavnosti. Zaključuje se da je Statut grada i otoka Korčule, kao svojevrsna normativna križaljka medijevalnih institucija, posebnih sloboda i višerazinskih jurisdikcija, predstavljao stvarnu povijesnu platformu s koje su se mogli kontrolirati i balansirati svi oni nositelji vlasti koji su prakticirali vlast bilo u granicama prava ili su pak težili njenom apsolutiziranju i korumpiranju. ; In classic natural law the issue of constitution was related to the laws, institutions and practice of organising and directing states and the political system. According to this understanding, every political system of town-state had a constitution. The contemporary meaning of constitution nevertheless gained specific and valuable foundation: today the constitution means the establishment of a special form of political organisation. Contemporary constitutions talk of limited government. With a constitution, political power is constituted and limited at the same time. Some states are constitutional because they have a limited and responsible government and others are not. In the latter case, we are talking about states that have a constitution, but do not have constitutionalism. After civil revolutions, constitutionalism becomes the central mechanism of control of political power and ensuring freedom. This text opens up the question of whether the Statute of Korčule of the year 1214/1265, as a normative projection of municipal organs in the Town and Island of Korčula (assembly of all people, duke, grand council, small council, curia, utility services.), provided the base for researching the (dis)continuity of "ancient constitutionalism" and classic rational, uniform and contractualistic forms of modern constitutionalism which is based on the constitution as the highest legal act and court control of constitutionality. In conclusion, the Statute of the Town and Island of Korčula, as a unique normative crossword puzzle of medieval institutions, special freedoms and multi-level jurisdictions, represented a real historical platform. From this platform all those bearers of power who implemented power could be controlled and balanced either within legal boundaries or they strived for absolutism and corruption.

Djelovanje Hrvatskog sabora u komunističkom razdoblju (1945.-1990.) nije cjelovito obrađena tema. Ovim člankom daje se prilog poznavanju njegove organizacije u razdoblju od 1963. do 1974. godine. Detaljno je opisana razgranata struktura i aktivnost njegovih pet vijeća (Republičko, Privredno, Prosvjetno-kulturno, Socijalnozdravstveno i Organizaciono-političko) i radnih tijela, koju ilustrira i broj održanih sjednica. Između ostalog, to je trebalo pokazivati položaj Sabora kao formalno najvišeg tijela vlasti, odnosno centra u kojem se donose najvažnije političke odluke o svim područjima života u Hrvatskoj. U vezi s tim, naznačena je potreba za detaljnom analizom odnosa između formalnog (de iure) i stvarnog (de facto) položaja Sabora u tadašnjem političkom sustavu vlasti, kako bi se odgovorilo na pitanje je li, na koji način i u kojoj mjeri taj položaj bio oslabljen u odnosu na druga državna politička tijela (ponajprije Izvršno vijeće Sabora), odnosno instrumentaliziran od strane središnjih tijela Saveza komunista Jugoslavije/Hrvatske. Rezultati istraživanja prezentirani su kombinacijom tematskog i kronološkog pristupa, a na kraju članka sistematizirani su u obliku tabličnog prikaza. ; The organisation and the activities of the Croatian Parliament in the communist period (1945-1990) is not a fully researched topic. The paper gives a contribution to the knowledge of its organisation in the period from 1963 to 1974. Its branched structure and the activities of its councils and working bodies are described in detail, which is also illustrated by the number of held sessions. By the Yugoslavian constitution adopted in April 1963, also called "the charter of selfmanagement", the name of the state was changed from People's to Socialist, its socialist attributes were emphasized, and selfmanagement was introduced in all segments of the society. By the new republican constitutions, such changes were also carried out in all then-existing Yugoslavian republics, including Croatia. In the forefront were placed »the sovereign rights of the working people and the Yugoslavian nations which they exercise«, inter alia, as representatives of the working people in councils of federal and republican assemblies. It had affected the organisation of the highest formal political institutions of the government, including federal and republican assemblies, which were declared as »the highest state and self-government authorities, under the law and obligations« of federation, i.e. the republic. The declarative constitutional concept on the assemblies as the highest state and self-government authorities implied the shift in their organisation and activities from the traditional legislative bodies and »law factories« towards »the responsible policy holders«. In other words, »becoming the working selfgovernment bodies«, assemblies were meant to become the centres in which »the whole social practice and harmonised politics is gathered«. Thus, for example, by the constitution of the Socialist Republic of Croatia from April 1963, it was declared that the Parliament (Sabor) can discuss and adopt declarations and resolutions »on all issues of common interest for the Republic [.] laying down values on politics in certain area and the means of its achievement«. The Croatian Parliament's Rules of Procedure from 1965 provided the possibility of convening a General Croatian Conference (Opći sabor Hrvatske), i.e. joint sessions »on all issues of the common interest for the Republic« of all of Parliament's councils with the Central Committee of the Socialist League of Working People of Croatia and the Republican Committee for Croatia of the Association of Trade Unions in Yugoslavia. The main characteristic of the organisation of the Croatian Parliament in the period from 1963 to 1974 was its complex structure. In order to express its working character and central role in the political decision-making process in all spheres of life in Croatia, it was organised as a five-cameral institution. It was the highest number of its chambers in the whole socialist period: until 1953 it was unicameral, in the period 1953-1963 bicameral, and in the period 1974-1990 a three-cameral institution. Those five chambers were: the Republican Council, the Economic Council, the Educational and Cultural Council, the Social and Health Council and the Organisational and Political Council. The Republican Council had 120 representatives, directly elected by the municipal assemblies and citizens. The other four councils had 80 representatives each, elected by the municipal assemblies among the workers across the working areas within the competence of each council. Except the Presidency of Parliament and its five councils, during the whole period 110 different permanent or temporary working bodies were established. Of that total, there were 27 joint working bodies of Parliament as a whole; the Republican Council had 20, the Economic Council 14, the Educational and Cultural Council 15, the Social and Health Council 18, and the Organisational and Political Council 16 permanent or temporary working bodies. The Parliament's councils and working bodies held in total 3 960 sessions, i.e. 360 per year. By comparison, in the period 1947-1953 during which it was organised as a unicameral body, the Parliament and its working bodies held in total 220 sessions (around 30 per year). In the period 1953- 1963 during which it was organised as a bicameral body, the Parliament and its working bodies held in total 1224 sessions, i.e. around 120 per year. More detailed data on the number of sessions held in the analysed period are listed in the table at the end of this paper. The table also includes a systematic overview of all working bodies which were described earlier in this paper, llustrating at the same time the dynamics of changes in their establishment and elimination. Some authors describe the Parliamentary institutions in the communist states with the metaphor rubber stamp legislatures, meaning the institutions with small practical power in the political decisionmaking process, which automatically put a stamp on the legislative proposals of their governments, i.e. communist parties as the real owners of the political power. Some of the researches singled out as exceptions the Polish Sejm and the Yugoslavian Federal Assembly (in the frame of the political system established by the Yugoslavian constitution from 1974). That opens a new research topic about whether the Croatian Parliament in the period 1963-1974 was also "a paradoxical institution" or an exception. In other words, the relation between the formal (de iure) and the real (de facto) position of Croatian Parliament in the political system of that time should be more closely researched, as well as to find whether its position was weakened, in what way and to what extent by the comparison with other state political institutions (notably the Executive Council of Parliament of the Socialist Republic of Croatia), i.e. instrumentalized by the central bodies of the League of Communist of Yugoslavia/Croatia.

Autor na temelju novobjavljenih izvora upotpunjuje povijest Lucićeva ljetnikovca u Hvaru. Također pretpostavlja postojanje građevina i prije podizanja ljetnikovca. Uspoređujući Morarijevu vizitaciju iz 1630. g. s tragovima vrata na sjevernom i južnom ulomku ogradnog zida, autor donosi zaključak o izvornoj hortikulturnoj koncepciji sklopa. ; The ground plan of the Lucić Villa in Hvar shows that the perimeter of the building was inherited from an earlier garden. But the lower parts of the northern wall show a structure different to that of the other walls, suggesting the existing of a perimeter wall even before Lucić built his villa. The southern wall of the garden also shows differences in structure, as well as a number of traces of the joining of walls, possibly of older apertures and a number of pigeon holes of unclear purpo- se, which suggests a confirmation of the hypothesis that there was a building there before the operations of Lucić. Not far from the Lucić complex, fifty or so metres to the NE, there were up to the 1950s visible walls, most probably of a Roman villa rustica. This is a site that is today almost entirely devastated but once provided a great many finds, urns, lamps, tegulae, pillars, amphorae and among other things the inscription CIL III, 3091. The existence of older wall structures at the complex, and the undoubted one-time existence of a villa rustica some ten metres to the NE, suggests that the villa was built on the site of a Roman period villa, which would tend to confirm that the heritage of antiquity was truly a precedent for the construction of the villa of Renaissance poet, translator of Ovid, Hanibal Lucić. In a will of 1584 together with a codicil of 1590 Julija Lucić, the daughter in law and general heir to the assets of Lucić, left the villa to the Jesuits or to two priests, should the Jesuits not arrive in Hvar. The oldest visitation of the complex that was carried out on January 20, 1603, by vicar General Andria Nembri says that the garden was at that time lea- sed to Abbot Delfin, and to two priests, the Bishop's nephew Juraj Cedulin, who was then studying in Perugia, and Peregrin Gariboldi, then in Rome to do with his canonicate. In a visitation of 1630 Morari found at the villa the priest Ivan Mekjanić, who had been installed by the beneficiary of the complex Federico Grisogono, nephew of Bishop Cedulin. In the words of Mekjanić, Grisogono was a youth of 24 who had never lived in Hvar. In 1654 Bishop Vicenzo Milani decided to organise the bishopric's seminary in the complex, and ordered an inscription to be carved on the gate of the complex to the effect. The earliest news from the 19th century derives from the session of the local authority during the period of French rule, on February 15, 1809, when the cha- irman Alvis Bučić moved the proposition that the gardens of the Lucić complex should be turned into the city cemetery. However, the impoverishment of the war years spared the gardens from being turned into a municipal facility of this kind; instead of paying a rental to the bishopric, on February 16, 1812 the government was asked to release the area of the one-time Augustinian monastery of St Nic- holas for use as a new cemetery. During the 19th century the villa was let out to many private persons, and from 1933 on it was the farm of the Hvar hotels of the time, to the horror of conservator L. Karaman, concerning which Vladimir Nazor wrote a poetic epistle. During the 1950s it was restored under the guidance of C. Fisković and D. Domančić. As well as the gate in the central part of the north wall of the garden, often thought to be the only entrance into the complex, Lucić's villa has two more entrances, via which the inner areas of the complex could be accessed from the street. The walled up door is visible in the NW corner of the complex, at the spot where the northern and western walls meet, and also alongside the SW corner of the main house of the complex. Comparing the location of the walled-up doors with the Morari description of the complex of 1630, it can be assumed that the original Lucić conception was placing the closed garden into flat area that had a raised paved walkway around all four walls of the garden, placed on sub-walls, arched over with a pergola on small stone pillars. The central walk was there above all to enable access to the well, the centre of the garden, certainly vaulted with a pergola on stone pillars. The original communication was established diagonally, and not perpendicularly across the middle of the garden, which is the case today. Thus the door in the central part of the northern wall of the complex and the door in the southern wall of the gar- den, from which the staircase went on to the southern wall of the complex were made subsequently and do not belong to the original organisation of the complex. According to Morari the garden was planted with citrus trees. The garden then was much more closed and medieval than could be guessed from its current situation, and Lucić, in the retention of the medieval conception of the garden was not isolated; indeed, from an analysis of the literary sources it can be concluded that it stayed that way until the early 17th century. The Lucić garden with its walls that from the parterre provided a view only of the sky and the peaks of the surrounding hills, with the well in the centre, mar- ked with its two tailed mermaids known from the early Middle Ages, was shaped like the space itself: closed and symbolic.

RIJEČ UREDNIŠTVAOvoga 20. listopada obilježit ćemo dvije obljetnice, 120 godina od izgradnje Šumarskoga doma i početka visokoškolske šumarske nastave u Hrvatskoj, upravo u Šumarskome domu. Naime, toga dana 20. listopada 1898. godine počela je s radom Šumarska akademija u sklopu tadašnjeg Mudroslovnog (Filozofskog) fakulteta, kao četvrta visokoškolska ustanova Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Time je Hrvatsko šumarsko društvo ostvarilo još jedan temeljni cilj, nakon dovođenja u Hrvatsku više šumarske nastave (Gospodarsko šumarsko učilište u Križevcima 1860. god. te početak tiskanja svoga znanstveno-stručnoga i staleškoga glasila Šumarski list 1877. god.). Za poznavanje i gospodarenje najsloženijim ekosustavom – šumom, potreban je visokostručni kadar, geslo je tadašnje politike (sugestija Marije Terezije), koje je putem Hrvatskoga šumarskoga društva ostvareno. Za razliku od današnje politike tada je šumarstvu i šumi dano tako vidno mjesto, koje mu po značaju i pripada. Gospodariti po načelu potrajnosti na gotovo polovici (47 %) kopnene površine Hrvatske zahtijeva drukčiji pristup šumi i šumarstvu u odnosu na današnji. Ponajprije, šumi treba vratiti protuvrijednost koju ona pruža. Ona je danas za mnoge neprepoznata, a nju Hrvatsko šumarsko društvo kao predstavnik objedinjene struke (šumarskoga obrazovanja, prakse i znanosti) neprestano ističe. Sa žaljenjem ističemo da resorni ministar do danas, unatoč molbi, nije našao za shodno primiti na razgovor rukovodstvo Hrvatskoga šumarskoga društva i informirati se o problemima dijela resora kojega pokriva, i to na stručnoj, a ne političkoj razini. Baš nas interesira koliki će značaj dati obilježavanju spomenutih obljetnica?Ostavit ćemo politiku i prelistati dvadeset prvo godište (ili tečaj kako piše) Šumarskoga lista i spomenuti samo neke značajnije napise iz davne 1898. god. Ponajprije treba istaknuti da je glavni urednik bio Josip Kozarac, državni nadšumar iz Vinkovaca, a časopis je tiskan u 12 brojeva.Milan Tordony, kr. šumar polemizira na temu Preborna šuma – primjeri iz Šumarije Fužine – zagovara normalnost sastojine kojoj se gospodarenjem nastojimo približiti – cilj je potrajno dobivati prihod, što je ovisno o strukturi sastojina. Tekst i rasprava poznatog nam A. Kerna naslovljen je na temu "Uređivanje prebornih sastojina". Gašo Vac, krapinski šumar piše "Šume i šumsko gospodarenje u Donjo Miholjačkom kotaru" općenito, a potom o vlastelinskim i o šumama zemljišnih zajednica, posebice hrastovim šumama. Na temu "Kasni (pozni) hrast (Quercus pedunculata var. tardisima Simonkai, glavni urednik Josip Kozarac najavljuje dvije rasprave koje slijede: kr. ugarskog nadšumara Ivana Földesa i W. Nikodema šumarskog upravitelja Turn-Taxisa u Lekeniku.S. Partaš piše na temu "O lugarnicama i lugarskim tečajevima; Aus dem Walde i vin H. Burckhardt u nastavcima o zaštitnom drveću: a) za zaštitu tla, b) za zaštitu sastojine i c) kao zaštitni rub; Jos pl. Ane, kotarski šumar "Oštećenje voluhara u hrastovoj sastojini"; Slavko Sulki "Poledica i njene posljedice na Krašu" (početak prosinca u Općini Hreljin); Nadšumar Kraft "O biološkim podlogama za uzgoj sastojina" (u šumarskoj struci uvijek je osnovica praksa – teorijom se ne mogu šumarska pitanja a priori riješiti, no ona ima zadaću ono što proizlazi iz prakse, znanstveno obrazložiti); Dragutin Hirc u nekoliko nastavaka piše "Iglasto drveće i grmlje hrvatske flore"; Prof. J. Partaš "Hrast u visokoj šumi"; F.X. Kesterčanek "Treba li nam uz akademiju u Zagrebu muzej šumarskog društva?" Naravno, tu su tekstovi: "Šumsko i gospodarsko knjižtvo, Zakoni i normativne naredbe, Zapisnici sa sjednica Upravljajućeg odbora, Državni ispiti za šumarsku struku, Dražbe drvnih proizvoda (dakle prije 120 godina to se rješavalo po tržišnim načelima, a danas politika određuje cijene i puni džepove privatnika pod izlikom da čuva posebice male pilanare i potiče visoko finaliziranu (vidimo li je?) proizvodnju proizvoda iz drva, koja osigurava veće zapošljavanje?), Različite viesti" i dr. Naposljetku slijedi "Naredba kr. hrv.-dalm. zemaljske vlade, odjela za unutarnje poslove i za bogoštovje i nastavu od. 7. listopada 1898. br. 66102., kojom se izdaje naukovni i ispitni red za slušatelje šumarstva na mudroslovnom fakultetu kr. sveučilišta Franjo Josip I. u Zagrebu", sa satnicom predavanja, načinom polaganja ispita i dr. Godište završava s popisom članova ("začasnih, utemeljiteljnih, podupirućih te članova I. i II. razreda").Uredništvo ; EDITORIALOctober 20th 2018 marks two important events: the 120th anniversary of the ceremonious opening of the Forestry House and the beginning of university forestry education in Croatia in the premises of the Forestry House. On October 20, 1898, the Forestry Academy was established within the Faculty of Philosophy as the fourth institution of higher education of the University of Zagreb. The Croatian Forestry Association fulfilled yet one more basic goal, after bringing higher forestry education into Croatia (Agriculture and Forestry College in Križevci in 1860 and the beginning of publishing its scientific forestry-specialized publication - Forestry Journal in 1877). To learn about and manage the most complex ecosystems, the forest, highly expert personnel is needed: this was the motto of the politics of that time (suggested by the Empress Maria Theresa). This motto was put to life through the Croatian Forestry Association. Unlike present-day politics, forestry and forests were then paid due importance. Implementing the principle of sustainability to manage forests that cover almost half (47 %) of the land territory of Croatia required a different approach to forests and forestry than is used today. First of all, the forest should be given back the values it provides. For many, these values are not recognized, although the Croatian Forestry Association as a representative of an integrated profession (forestry education, practice and science) continuously stresses them. We regret to say that, despite our repeated requests, the competent minister has not yet found time to receive the Managing Board of the Croatian Forestry Association to discuss problems arising in a part of the department he is responsible for. We do not wish to discuss problems on a political but on a professional level. Let us wait and see what importance will be given to the anniversaries mentioned above. However, let us leave politics and turn to leafing through Forestry Journal published in 1898 (the twenty-first year of the publication). We shall mention here only several of the more important articles from the year 1898. First, Editor-in-Chief was Josip Kozarac, a state head forester from Vinkovci, and the journal came out in 12 issues. Milan Tordony, the royal forester, discusses the topic of selection forests - examples from Fužine Forest Office - and advocates the normal status of a stand to be achieved with management practices. The goal is to obtain sustainable yield, which depends on the structure of a stand. The text and the debate of the renowned A. Kern bears the title "Managing selection stands". Gašo Vac, a forester from Krapina, writes about "Forests and forest management in the municipality of Donji Miholjac" in general, and then about forests owned by landed gentry and by land communities, in particular about oak forests. Using the topic of "Late flushing oak ( Quercus pedunculata var. tardisima Simonkai), editor-in-chief Josip Kozarac announces two discussions: by the royal Hungarian head forester Ivan Földes and W. Nikodem, forest manager of Thurn-Taxis in Lekenik. S. Partaš writes on the topic of "Ranger's lodges and ranger's training courses; Aus dem Walde and H. Burckhardt write in sequels on protective trees; a) for soil protection, b) for stand protection, and c) as protective edges; Jos Ane, municipal forester, discusses "Vole damage in oak stands"; Slavko Sulki writes about "Glazed frost and its consequences on Karst" (the beginning of December in the Municipality of Hreljin); head forester Kraft writes about "Biological priciples for stand cultivation" (in the forestry profession, practice always comes first - forestry issues cannot be solved a priori by theory, but the task of theory is to give scientific explanations of what arises from practice); Dragutin Hirc writes in several sequels about "Conifer trees and shrubs of the Croatian flora"; Professor J. Partaš discusses "Oak in a high forest"; F. X. Kesterčanek asks "Do we need a Museum of Forestry Association in addition to the Academy in Zagreb?" There are also the following articles: Forestry and agricultural publications, Laws and normative acts, Minutes of management board meetings, State examinations for the forestry profession, Auction sales of wood products (as we see, 120 years ago the sale of wood products was based on market principles, while today it is politics which determines prices and fills the pockets of private owners under the pretext of protecting small sawmill owners and stimulating highly finalized production of wood products to increase employment), "Miscellaneous news", and others, Finally, there is the "Order by the Royal Croatian-Dalmatian Government of the Land, Department of Internal Affairs and of Religion and Education" of October 7, 1898, No 66102, issuing the order of lectures and exams for forestry students at the Faculty of Philosophy at the Royal University of Francis Joseph I in Zagreb", completed with timetables of lectures, manner of taking exams and others. The yearbook ends with a list of members (honorary, founding, supporting, and member of the I and II Class).Editorial Board
