Transparency International Hrvatska

Transparency International Hrvatska (TI Hrvatska, TIH) is a Croatian non-governmental organisation registered as an association (udruga) under Croatian law, with its seat in Zagreb. It was founded in May 2000 and works to combat and research corruption. It is the Croatian national chapter of Transparency International, the global anti-corruption movement, and operates the website transparency.hr. The organisation's public work centres on monitoring and advocacy: it publishes news, statements (priopćenja) and analyses on topics such as conflicts of interest, public procurement, waste management, judicial delays, and the mechanisms by which corruption operates. Its homepage carries a stream of articles and press releases with titles such as "Sukob interesa nije korupcija. Ali može biti njezino predvorje" (Conflict of interest is not corruption. But it can be its antechamber), "Korupcija ne počinje aferom. Počinje u natječaju" (Corruption does not begin with a scandal. It begins in a tender), and "Pravda koja kasni: zašto slučajevi korupcije traju godinama?" (Justice delayed: why do corruption cases last for years?). As part of the Transparency International movement, TI Hrvatska participates in the global network's mission of exposing corruption and demanding accountability from governments, businesses and civil society. Its Croatian-language output targets domestic audiences, and its institutional funding includes support from the National Foundation for Civil Society Development (Nacionalna zaklada za razvoj civilnoga društva), as stated on its website. The organisation is a civil-society actor rather than a commercial enterprise, but it functions as a recognised brand within the anti-corruption field, with a distinct name, website and public identity in Croatia.

Transparency International Hrvatska was founded in May 2000 as a Croatian association (udruga) registered under the Law on Associations, with its seat in Zagreb. It was established as the Croatian national chapter of Transparency International, the global anti-corruption movement founded in 1993. From its inception, its stated mission has been to combat and research corruption in Croatia. As a civil-society organisation, TI Hrvatska operates through research, monitoring, advocacy and public communication rather than commercial activity. Its website, transparency.hr, serves as its main public platform, publishing news items, press releases and analyses on corruption-related topics. Over the years its output has addressed themes such as conflicts of interest, public procurement, waste management, judicial efficiency, and the social conditions that allow corruption to persist. The organisation has received institutional support from Croatia's National Foundation for Civil Society Development (Nacionalna zaklada za razvoj civilnoga društva) for the stabilisation and/or development of the association, as acknowledged on its website. This funding reflects its status as a recognised civil-society actor in Croatia. TI Hrvatska is part of the wider Transparency International network, which includes national chapters around the world and a secretariat in Berlin. Through this network, it participates in international anti-corruption efforts while focusing its day-to-day work on Croatian domestic issues. Its public messaging emphasises that corruption is not limited to high-profile scandals but operates through everyday mechanisms such as tenders, conflicts of interest and institutional silence. As of the 2020s, the organisation remains active, continuing to publish commentary and analysis on current affairs in Croatia, including topics like the 'ski affair' (Skijaška afera) and the cost of silence in public life.
