Sažetak

It is quite legitimate to ask for improvement of civilian monitoring of security and intelligence agencies, reaching in this manner a higher level of information security in the national security system. Croatia's model of overseeing the security and intelligence agencies in many aspects is the unique, being at the same time more democratic compared with many other similar solutions in the European Union. Croatian step forward, which was based on solutions similar to those in Norway and Portugal, has enabled a significant improvement in transparency in the work of security and intelligence agencies contributing at the same time to its further professionalization and depoliticization. Yet, although the civilian oversight system in the Republic of Croatia has been changing in the past fifteen years, there is a lot more to be done with respect to improvements under the condition that the policy is willing to accept them and to be voted for in the Parliament. Also, it is one of the best indicators of how much our society is ready to accept sincere transparency in what might be the most delicate segment of national security.
