More Efficient, Faster And
SIMPLER PROCEDURES We are witnessing a trend of constant growth in the number of applications for construction permits and approvals for building, as well as the number of issued acts, and this is undoubtedly a result of the simplification, increased efficiency and speeding up of procedures that electronic solutions have brought us
T
he procedure for issuing construction permits and other acts of the relevant authorities in the process of constructing facilities (from location conditions to usage permits) has been carried out electronically since 1st January 2016, through the Central Register of Administrative Procedures (CEOP), which represents a unique, central, public, electronic database that contains statistics on the course of each individual case according to the requirements related to the construction, extension and reconstruction of facilities, decisions and other acts that arise in the unified procedure, as well as all documentation enclosed and obtained through those procedures. With the introduction of the CEOP, it has been made possible for applicants parties - to obtain all required acts in the process of constructing facilities through a unique electronic “one-stop shop system”, where the bodies responsible for issuing these acts collect, on behalf of the party, all necessary documents available through the public records of other bodies, organisations and holders of public jurisdiction. The party is thereby freed from the need to collect all the necessary documentation on their own, while the procedure is also more efficient, faster and simpler for applicants, bearing in mind that all communication between the competent authorities is carried out electronically, via the CEOP.
