There are all primary laws that are in accordance with
DCAF.
There is a notable track record of good practice (minimum
5 years). Good practice has become a rule and bad practice
is an exception. Bad practise is regularly proportionally
sanctioned.
There is a horizontal and vertical harmonization of
all legal documents necessary for implementation of
criterion. This means that new norm has been introduced
not only in primary laws for criterion, but also in
primary laws for actors and in relevant public administration
legislation. Majority of relevant secondary
legislation is adopted.
The result of harmonisation is that norms in relevant
primary legislation are not contradictory and that
together with harmonized secondary legislation and
internal norms they provide a coherent legal platform
for implementation of criterion.
The posts/organisational units tasked to perform duties
prescribed with the primary laws for that criterion are
fully functional and equipped with sufficient resources.
If there has been cooperation with CSOs is in implementation
of criterion, it is no longer carried out on
ad hoc basis, but there is institutionalized in set of
procedures and practices.
Democratic values are adopted by the institutions. Bad
practice is regularly and adequately sanctioned.
Citizens are being informed about their rights and
about the results of state institutions’ work. The special
attention is paid to information of citizens about sanctions
applied to those who breached rights or norms
of DCAF.
