This paper considers how well the legal framework is established and legally regulated in Croatia for enforcement in administrative dispute and whether it is an effective means for administrative court judgement implementation when public bodies refuse to implement them. To that end the scope of the court decisions are considered and the effect they have on certain subjects. Then, the specifities of court judgement enforcement are provided. After considering the mechanisms of coercive administrative court judgement enforcement, Croatian positive legal solutions judgements contained in the Administrative Dispute Act (Zakon o upravnim sporovima) are analysed in detail. Finally, an attempt is made to point out all the shortcomings of such a legal regime and provide in the conclusion some suggestions de lege ferenda.
