ANALYSIS OF THE CASE OF MUCKO V. CROATIA
In this highly significant case, Mucko v. Croatia, no. 55588/18, which unfortunately has not been published in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights because it was concluded by the Republic of Croatia acknowledging the violation and paying compensation to the applicant, positions were taken that are diametrically opposed to the previous practice of the courts in the Republic of Croatia and of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia, concerning a party's right to reimbursement of the costs of representation by a lawyer in administrative proceedings. We are pleased to draw your attention to the case law of the European Court of Human Rights on which you may rely in similar cases in which administrative authorities institute unlawful proceedings against your clients and for which they are likely to have to bear the costs.
