Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je analizirati glavne probleme s kojima se susreću stranci u Republici Hrvatskoj prilikom odobravanja boravka kroz prikaz podataka iz godišnjih izvješća pučkog pravobranitelja za razdoblje od 2013. do 2023. godine. Rad započinje pregledom zakonske regulative koja je ključna za boravak državljana trećih zemalja u Republici Hrvatskoj. U drugom dijelu rada prikazuju se ovlasti pučkog pravobranitelja i kratka povijest institucije, čije su ovlasti povećane izmjenama Ustava tijekom godina. Analiza godišnjih izvješća fokusira se na probleme s kojima se stranci, odnosno državljani trećih zemalja, najčešće suočavaju prilikom podnošenja pritužbi pučkom pravobranitelju vezano za odobravanje boravka u Republici Hrvatskoj: dugotrajnost postupaka odobravanja boravka stranaca, sigurnosne zapreke za odobravanja boravka stranaca, dugotrajnost privremenog boravka stranaca, pretpostavke za ukidanje odobrenja privremenog boravka stranaca te problemi vezani uz podnošenje pravnih lijekova protiv rješenja o odobravanju, produžavanju ili ukidanju boravka stranaca.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper is to analyse the main issues faced by foreigners in the Republic of Croatia regarding the approval of their residence, through the presentation of data from the annual reports of the Ombudsman for the period from 2013 to 2023. The paper begins with an overview of the legal regulations that are crucial for the residence of third-country nationals in the Republic of Croatia. The second part of the paper presents the powers of the Ombudsman and a brief history of the institution, whose powers have been increased by amendments to the Constitution over the years. The analysis of the annual reports focuses on the problems that foreigners, i.e., third-country nationals, most often encounter when submitting complaints to the Ombudsman regarding the approval of their residence in the Republic of Croatia: the lengthy procedures for approving the residence of foreigners, security obstacles to approving the residence of foreigners, the duration of temporary residence of foreigners, the requirements for revoking the approval of temporary residence of foreigners, and issues related to the submission of legal remedies against decisions on the approval, extension, or revocation of the residence of foreigners.
