The aim of this paper is to define the term alternative library and to identify the structure and activities of alternative libraries based on the Zagreb sample. Alternative libraries are civil sector's libraries. These libraries collect and offer the use of their collections to the general public. Their collections cover a variety of topics and subjects from the field of human rights protection, such as rights of women, homosexuals, right to live in peace and free information-access rights. The results of the research conducted at the end of September and the beginning of October 2005 are presented in this article. Using structured interview method, the research was carried out in five Zagreb alternative libraries. The libraries include: Reading-room and Library of The Centre for Women's Studies; the Library of Ženska Infoteka; Lezbib -- lesbian library of Lesbian Group Kontra; Media Archive [mama] of Multimedia Institute [mi2]; and Peace Library of The Centre for Peace Studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to show that the concept of State liability nowadays exists to enable the attainment of two goals: namely, the protection of the individual rights and freedoms, on the one hand, and the proper functioning of the public service on the other hand. Despite the antagonism between those two interests, they can be reconciled. If the State opts to protect the individual rights by permitting actions against it, the State gets in fact a partner who will show the spots of dysfunction within the system. Then the relevant authorities could react timely in removing them. In Croatian legislation there are several acts that provide for the liability of State for damage caused by the civil servants, but there is no comprehensive code that would regulate all aspects of State liability. Therefore, the general regime of Croatian Law on Obligations is applied to all issues not covered by those specific laws, such as the issue of causation and fault. Although Croatian positive law on State liability does not differ too much from the other European states, the case-law of Croatian Supreme Court reveals the opposite. The result of this is that the aggrieved citizen is not entitled to damages, unless the act or omission of the servant is a crime and not merely a tort. Nevertheless, there are improvements. In 2003, Croatia reintroduced the State liability for damages caused by terrorist acts and public demonstrations, military or police acts that previously existed within the Law on Obligations and then were derogated because of the overwhelming actions due to the war. This was a direct consequence of a decision of the European Court for Human Rights. Further on, the case-law of the Croatian Constitutional Court becomes more and more developed giving it the status of a guardian and a sort of Croatian legal 'avant-garde'. Although the improvements in certain spheres of Croatian law and the practice of the Croatian Constitutional Court are most welcome, it is still necessary that even ordinary courts accept such attitude in regard to the State liability. Otherwise, there is an improper balance between the interests of the State and protection of individual rights, at the prejudice of the latter. Due to the facts that Croatia is a candidate country for the membership in the EU and that one of the requirements for that is the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and the ability to take on the obligations of membership, the presentation of the current state of affaires in Croatian law is followed by a short overview of the concept of State liability in the EU law.
