Summary/Abstract: The Law on Public Procurement contains many different rules about the public procurement contract in comparison with the former law. According to the new Law on Public Procurement, acts by the principal are individual administrative acts. The relationships between the parties to a public procurement contract are regulated by rules in Law on Administrative Procedure, Law on Obligations and Contracts, Commercial Law and special rules in Law on Public Procurement.
