Tonči Glavinić appointed Chief State Inspector and relieved of duties as State Secretary

The Government of the Republic of Croatia has appointed Tonči Glavinić as the Chief State Inspector of the State Inspectorate for a term of five years. Simultaneously, Tonči Glavinić was dismissed from the position of State Secretary in the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets due to his departure for a new position. Both decisions were published in the Official Gazette (Narodne novine) no. 105/2026 of September 18, 2026, under numbers 1264 and 1265.

The appointment decision was made based on Article 31, paragraph 4 of the Act on the Government of the Republic of Croatia, Article 46, paragraph 1 of the Act on the State Administration System, and Article 30, paragraph 1 of the Act on the State Inspectorate.

The dismissal decision is based on Article 31, paragraph 4 of the Act on the Government of the Republic of Croatia and Article 46, paragraph 1 of the Act on the State Administration System, and was made at the same Government session on September 10, 2026. The explanation states that the dismissal is carried out due to departure for a new position, thereby completing the personnel change at the head of the state inspection service.

Appointment to the Head of the State Inspectorate

By decision number 1264, titled “Decision on the appointment of the Chief State Inspector of the State Inspectorate,” Tonči Glavinić is appointed as the Chief State Inspector of the State Inspectorate for a period of five years. This is the leadership position of the central state administration body responsible for inspection supervision, whose powers are regulated by the Act on the State Inspectorate.

The legal basis for the appointment includes three regulations: the Act on the Government of the Republic of Croatia, the Act on the State Administration System, and the Act on the State Inspectorate. The decision was signed by the Prime Minister mr. sc. Andrej Plenković and published in the Official Gazette no. 105/2026.

Dismissal from the Position of State Secretary

By decision number 1265, “Decision on the dismissal of the State Secretary in the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets,” Tonči Glavinić is dismissed from the position of State Secretary in that ministry. The reason explicitly stated is the departure for a new position, making the dismissal directly linked to the appointment to the position of Chief State Inspector.

Both decisions bear the same reference number, 50301-15/07-26-1, and are dated in Zagreb, September 10, 2026. The signatory is the Prime Minister mr. sc. Andrej Plenković.
