Public finance units must enter contracts into the Central Register of Contracts from 1 July 2026 to ensure expenditure transparency.
Reporting Scope Uncertainties
From 1 July 2026, public finance units will be obligated to enter contracts into the Central Register of Contracts (CRU). This requirement, mandated by an amending law effective 4 December 2025, aims to guarantee the transparency of public spending.
Practical concerns arise regarding the scope of these new obligations. Key questions include whether reporting is limited to standard civil law contracts or extends to invoices, receipts, or employment contracts.
Key Questions for Compliance
Factors influencing reporting requirements need clarification, such as the contract’s value, its procurement method, or the source of funding. Answers to these questions are crucial for public entities, particularly local governments, to prepare for the upcoming changes.
