availability of evidence; crimes that were committed at the direction of senior officials). The Republic of Croatia has a unified electronic court system. It should be noted that one of the requirements for accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union was the investigation of war crimes. 2.8. Also representatives of the Ukrainian delegation had the opportunity to learn about the activities of the State Department of housing (further the – Department) and its role in system of the state. These questions had previously been under the aegis of the Ministry of regional development and European Union funds, which had 20 years of experience in the implementation of housing programs. The Department was established by the Government of the Republic of Croatia in may 2013 for managemant, reconstruction and construction of housing for residents displaced from areas of special state concern, refugees and former tenancy rights owners after October 1991. Since 1995, Croatia has implemented the reconstruction Program, which initially was aimed the reconstruction of zones of special attention (areas that have suffered in the result of the civil war) for them to achieve the level of other Croatian regions. Funding for the program was carried out by the loans provided by the EU. Currently there are two programs for the reconstruction of housing, aimed at encouraging demographic and economic progress, the completion of the recovery program, return of pre-war population to their houses. The decision in regard to the construction and reconstruction is adopted at the local level, the Department, in its turn, monitors the execution of the program. Despite the fact that in Ukraine today state efforts are aimed at restoration and development of peace in the regions where anti-terrorist operation took place, it was interesting to learn Croatian model of housing provision in the framework of the program, namely: - giving a house or an apartment to the families for rent; - allotment of land and provision of construction materials for the construction of family houses or provision of construction materials for repair, reconstruction and modernization of family houses or flats, or building a family house on the land owned by the applicant; - provision of land and construction materials for construction of a residential blocks of apartments; - provision of municipal house or apartment. This experience can be useful for Ukraine, and these models of housing provision may be taken into account in the development of state and/or regional programs by the Government of Ukraine to provide housing for internally displaced persons and persons whose houses were destroyed or damaged during the antiterrorist operation.
