Summary/Abstract: Along with the outed opinions form legal the oryand jurisprudence, in the paper the author gives a review of the legal regulation for the statute of limitation on initiating and conducting disciplinary proceedings against civil servants in the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Montenegro. The author concludes that the legislator has substantially managed to enable through legal solutions that competent authorities within certain deadlines initiate and conduct disciplinary proceedings against civil servants who are reasonably suspected to have committed violations of official duty, at the same time providing legal security to civil servants guaranteeing that after a certain period there would not be disciplinary proceedings initiated or conducted against them for certain violations. The author proposes amendments in the legislation aimed at prolonging the existing deadlines for statute of limitations in certain cases and to align the legislation with the international standards.
